Abstract
An (SST) driver circuit having additional circuitry for minimizing data-dependent jitter in the SST driver and increasing frequency amplitude in the SST driver. The additional circuity comprises a plurality of switches configured to be turned on or pulsed on momentarily during operation to discharge a node in the SST output stage for the purpose of removing the stored charge before the next transition cycle of the output stage.
