Abstract
An interface driver circuit comprises N cascaded delay cells, each including a data bit input, a delayed data bit output that communicates with the data bit input of an adjacent one of the N cascaded delay cells, and a delay time input that sets delay values between receiving data at the data bit input and generating the delayed data bit output. N predrivers receive an output enable signal that is independent of the data, receive a corresponding one of the N delayed data bit outputs and generate a predriver output signal based on the output enable signal and the corresponding one of the N delayed data bit outputs.
