Abstract
A multiple signal format output driver is configurable to provide a current-mode logic (CML) output signal in response to a CML value of one or more first values of the control signal. The output driver is configurable to provide a low-power, low-voltage positive emitter-coupled logic (low-power LVPECL) output signal in response to a low-power LVPECL value of the one or more first values of the control signal. The output driver is configurable to provide a low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) output signal in response to an LVDS value of the one or more first values of the control signal. The output driver may be configurable to provide a LVPECL output signal in response to a second value of the control signal. The output driver may be configurable to provide a high-speed current steering logic (HCSL) output in response to a third value of the control signal.
