Abstract
A programmable strength output buffer intended for use within the address register of a memory module such as a registered DIMM (RDIMM). The output signals of an array of such buffers drive respective output lines that are connected to the address or control pins of several RAM chips. The programmable buffers vary the strength of at least some of the output signals in response to a configuration control signal, such that the output signals can be optimized for the loads to which they will be connected.
