Abstract
A method of driving an output terminal to a voltage, in which an input signal is received, an appropriate output voltage and output voltage range are determined based on the input signal, an output driver is configured to a first mode and the output driver drives the output terminal to a voltage within the voltage range, the output driver is configured to a second mode and the output driver drives the output terminal to a voltage approximately equal to the appropriate output voltage.
