Abstract

A compensation circuit (64) for ensuring that a first conductor (60) of a plurality of parallel conductors (60, 61, 62) in a bus (50) remains at a logic high voltage when a second conductor (61) adjacent to the first conductor (60) transitions from a logic high voltage to a logic low voltage. The compensation circuit (64) senses when the voltage on the second conductor (61) is reduced from a logic high voltage to a logic low voltage, and causes the first conductor (60) to be coupled to a power supply voltage terminal to prevent a logic high voltage on the first conductor (60) from being reduced toward a logic low voltage due to a capacitive coupling between the first conductor (60) and the second conductor (61).
