Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit may be configured to generate a plurality of complementary outputs based upon a plurality of inputs, a first control signal, and a second control signal, where the plurality of inputs is received as a serial data stream. The second circuit may be configured to generate one or more pairs of complementary output signals and a plurality of open-drain outputs in response to a third control signal, a fourth control signal, a fifth control signal, and a sixth control signal. A first complementary output of each pair of complementary output signals has a higher current capability than a second complementary output of each pair of complementary output signals.
