Abstract
A method for controlling the impedance of drivers controls the output impedance of drivers by coupling the drivers to a impedance control circuit. Accordingly, a desired driver output impedance can advantageously be established and maintained over a wide range of variations in operating conditions and manufacturing processes. Thereby shortening the signal settling time and increasing the attainable signaling frequency.
