Abstract

The integrated circuit with programmable pad driver involves an integrated circuit (IS1) with at least one pad driver that has a programming unit (PE) and a plurality of sub-drivers (T1 . . . Tm). A specific driver intensity and edge steepness of the pad driver can be set in that a corresponding plurality of sub-drivers connected to a common terminal contact (PAD) at their output side are activated/deactivated dependent on output signals (P1 . . . Pm) of the programming unit.
