  • Output driver slew control
    Patent number: 9461624
    Abstract: In one example, a method includes, in response to a voltage level of an input signal satisfying an input voltage threshold, activating a first driver of a plurality of drivers configured to collectively generate an output signal. In this example, the method also include, in response to the voltage level of the input signal satisfying the input voltage threshold and a voltage level of the output signal satisfying an output voltage threshold, toggling activation of a second driver of the plurality of drivers, wherein the second driver is configured to switch more current when activated than the first driver, and wherein the first driver has a faster slew rate than the second driver.
    Type: Grant
