Abstract
An equalizing transmitter coupled to a communication channel includes a plurality of driver segments, at least one equalizer segment, a delay element and a logic circuit. Each driver segment in the plurality of driver segments includes a pullup transistor that is configured to couple the communication channel to a first voltage rail when an input signal is in a first signaling state. The at least one equalizer segment includes a pullup transistor configured to couple the communication channel to the first voltage rail when turned on. The delay element is configured to provide a precursor signal that is a delayed version of the input signal. The logic circuit is responsive to the precursor signal and provides an enabling signal that enables the at least one equalizer segment to be turned on when the precursor signal is in a second signaling state.
