Abstract
Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems for providing a dynamic bias voltage to one or more transistors of a transceiver. In embodiments, a transceiver includes receive circuitry and transmit circuitry coupled to a same input/output (I/O) pad. A dynamic biasing circuit detects a voltage level of a data signal on the I/O pad, and generates a dynamic bias voltage having a value based on the detected voltage level. In some embodiments, the dynamic bias voltage is a selected one of a first bias voltage or a second bias voltage. The dynamic biasing circuit provides the dynamic bias voltage to one or more transistors of the transceiver to protect the transistors from electrical overstress.
