Abstract

See full text

A system for programmatically adjusting electrical characteristics of a bus interface so as to modify bus operating and signaling parameters employs a control module or mechanism, responsive to a digital signal, for setting the characteristic's value. The electrical characteristic can be a voltage determinative, for example, of any of the following bus operating and signaling parameters: driver output rise time, driver output fall time, driver voltage limits, driver propagation time, receiver threshold voltage levels, or termination resistance. The digital signal can be generated, for example, by a computer-executable program, a controller, or other such device, that applies the digital signal to the control mechanism, for example, via a JTAG interface/controller.
