Abstract
Embodiments of the present technology provide transceivers intelligently designed to reduce voltage kickback and I/O pad capacitance. A transceiver of the present technology can reduce voltage kickback by dynamically tracking I/O pad voltage at gate terminals of reference voltage signal-receiving MOS devices of a voltage mode cascoded driver implemented in the transceiver. By tracking I/O pad voltage, embodiments can reduce/avoid rapidly changing voltage differentials across the reference voltage signal-receiving MOS devices—thereby reducing voltage kickback. By reducing voltage kickback, embodiments can maintain reliability and improve performance for the transceiver. Tracking I/O pad voltage at the gate terminals of the reference voltage signal-receiving MOS devices can also reduce I/O pad capacitance of the transceiver—thereby improving performance for the transceiver.
