Abstract
An apparatus is configured to achieve Cpad mitigation effects. The apparatus may include a switch coupled to a current source with first and second states. The apparatus may also include a pad coupled to the switch and having a pad capacitance that charges and discharges based on changes between the first and second switch states. The apparatus may further include a resistor coupled to the switch and the pad, and the resistor is configured to be modulated to reduce the charging or discharging time of the pad.
