Abstract
A technique for high speed transmission of digital signals on a bus line with reduced signal ringing, bounce and bus contention current. The approach uses a multi-partitioned driver design with temporary and steady state parts incorporating internal feedback and delay techniques to control the output slew rate. A built-in function outputs the driving status of the transceiver and allows the output to enter the high impedance status asynchronously.
