    Abstract: Multi-mode signal drivers with a single output circuit that may be controlled using a mode select input and that may include a common mode (CM) voltage compensation mechanism are described. In a first exemplary implementation, a multi-mode output driver is adapted to drive signals from a single output circuit according to at least two modes, such as a current mode logic (CML) signaling mode and a low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) mode. In a second exemplary implementation, a circuit comprises a quasi-LVDS output driver in which a differential amplifier circuit is connected in series with an adjustable resistive element and a programmable current source. In a third exemplary implementation, a CM voltage of an output driver circuit changes with changes to a programmable bias current. To compensate, a feedback mechanism provides a compensation signal to a variable resistive element of the output driver circuit to maintain a desired CM voltage.
