Abstract

A variable series resistance termination circuit for wireline serial link transceivers is provided. Some embodiments include a pad for coupling to a wireline serial link and a termination circuit. The termination circuit includes a plurality of resistive components coupled in series with the pad and a plurality of switches. Each switch is to couple one or more of the plurality of resistive components in series between the pad and a termination voltage node when the switch is closed. A subset of the plurality of switches can be selectively closed to establish a resistive component of an impedance of the termination circuit.
