Abstract
In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for associating a first plurality of current sources with a first tap coefficient and associating a second plurality of current sources with a second tap coefficient. A first plurality of output switches coupled to the first plurality of current sources is gated using the first tap coefficient and a second plurality of output switches coupled to the second plurality of current sources is gated using the second tap coefficient. In such manner, the first and second plurality of equalized current sources may be driven onto an interconnect. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
