Abstract
A programmable low power driver permits an output impedance of the driver to be programmed. Programmability permits the driver output impedance to match an impedance of a transmission line that is connected thereto. The low power driver includes a first driver output and a plurality of driver legs. The programmable low power driver is configured to electrically couple one or more driver legs of the plurality of driver legs to the first driver output to establish an output impedance for the driver.
