Abstract
A signal driver circuit (10) is provided that comprises a first inverter comprising a P-FET (14), an N-FET (16) and a resistor (18). A second inverter comprises a P-FET (20) and an N-FET (22). Resistor (18) and capacitors (24) and (26) limit the transition times of the output driving signal to control electromagnetic radiation caused by rapid transition times in the output signal. Circuit (10) is independent of the amount of capacitive load (28) driven by the circuit.
