Abstract
Briefly, embodiments of claimed subject matter relate to controlling a voltage across a circuit element utilized in a pre-driver for a bidirectional communications bus. In embodiments, a voltage control circuit may be utilized to reduce electrical stress across a capacitor coupled to the pre-driver to the communications bus. The voltage control circuit may operate to provide a voltage to a middle point between two capacitors, of a plurality of capacitors, which may operate to limit voltage across one or more capacitors to below a predetermined limit.
