Abstract

See full text

A circuit for dynamic signal drive strength compensation. A circuit for compensating the drive strength of an output signal includes an output driver stage including a driver circuit and a drive strength control circuit. The driver circuit may be selectively enabled depending upon a drive strength indicator signal. The driver circuit includes a P-channel transistor which has a P input which is controlled by a P-channel control signal. The driver circuit also includes an N-channel transistor which has an N input which is controlled by an N-channel control signal. The drive strength control circuit may generate the respective P-channel and N-channel control signals. The P-channel control signal is prevented from changing while the P-channel transistor is turned on. The N-channel control signal is prevented from changing while the N-channel transistor is turned on.
