Abstract

A multi-stage driver circuit has a transmission line coupled to an output of the multi-stage driver circuit. The transmission line has inductive elements and programmable capacitive elements selected to shape the transmitted data signal. The programmable capacitive elements have a first capacitor with a first terminal coupled to a first power supply conductor, and a first transistor with a first conduction terminal coupled to a second terminal of the first capacitor, and a second conduction terminal coupled to a second power supply conductor. The programmable capacitive elements have a register with a first output coupled to a control terminal of the first transistor. The programmable capacitive elements are selected to shape the transmitted data signal by observing operational dynamics of the multi-stage driver circuit.
