Abstract
Reducing electromagnetic radiation from semiconductor devices. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods comprising driving a Boolean state to a signal pad of a semiconductor device (the driving through a transistor with a first drain-to-source impedance during the driving), and maintaining the Boolean state applied to the signal pad through the transistor with a second drain-to-source impedance, higher than the first drain-to-source impedance.
