Abstract
Transitions (e.g. high to low and/or low to high) associated with operation of the driver are employed to implement control, which can be applied as a pulse in response to an occurrence of the transition. The control operates to speed up the transition at the output of the driver, such as can reduce driver switching times and enable a corresponding increase in data transmission rates.
