Abstract

Apparatuses, systems, and methods for implementing a multi-driver architecture are described. The multi-driver architecture may include a first driver and a second driver configured to receive an input voltage. A predriver logic circuit may select one of the first driver and the second driver to convert the input voltage into an output voltage. A controller may be connected to the first driver and the second driver, and a switch may be connected between an output terminal of the first driver and the controller. The controller may be configured to control an internal resistance of the switch. In response to the first driver being selected by the predriver logic circuit, the first driver may output the output voltage at a constant impedance level.
