Abstract
An apparatus includes a swing control circuit, a slew control circuit, and a driver circuit. The swing control circuit is configured and arranged to be powered by an input supply voltage, to receive an input data signal and, in response, to generate a first internal signal having a swing level corresponding to the input supply voltage. The slew control circuit, including a switched capacitor circuit, is configured and arranged to receive the first internal signal and, in response, to generate a second internal signal using the switched capacitor circuit that is configured to set a slew rate for the second internal signal. Further, the driver circuit is configured and arranged to receive the second internal signal and, in response, to generate an output signal that is based upon the swing level and the slew rate of the second internal signal.
