Abstract

An input-output (I-O) buffer for an integrated circuit. The buffer includes a controller and first and second groups of transistors to pull the node up and down, respectively. The controller is configured to turn on a transistor from the first group to drive a high bit on the node during a first period of time. The controller is further configured to turn on transistors from both the first and second groups, simultaneously, to terminate the node during a second period of time.
