Abstract
An output driver and method including an output pad, for performing write operations from a central processor unit to a cache memory. The driver includes a pull-up circuit electrically connected to the output pad for switching the pad to a first logic state and a pull-down circuit electrically connected to the output pad for switching it to a second logic state. A plurality of signals are input to the pull-up and pull-down circuits to perform the switching of the output pad at integer and integer and a half clock cycles.
