  • Controlling the slew-rate of an output buffer
    Patent number: 7852110
    Abstract: An output buffer provided according to an aspect of the present invention is designed to generate an output signal with a slew rate that is substantially independent of the threshold voltage of transistors contained within. An output buffer provided according to another aspect of the present invention provides output signals with different slew rates depending on the magnitude of the load capacitance at the output node of the output buffer.
    Type: Grant
