  • Patent number: 9294078
    Abstract: A system for circuit for generating an output signal with a dynamically adjustable slew rate includes a sampler, an envelope detector, an envelope comparison and control circuit, and a voltage-driver circuit that includes output buffers for generating the output signal. The sampler generates a sampled signal indicative of the slew rate of the output signal. The envelope detector generates an envelope detection signal indicative of a peak value of the sampled signal. The envelope comparison and control circuit compares a voltage level of the envelope detection signal with various threshold voltage levels, and generates control signals. The voltage-driver circuit controls the operation states of the output buffers based on the control signals to dynamically adjust the slew rate of the output signal.
