Abstract
A method of controlling a slew rate includes applying a resistive load to a bus corresponding to the number of logic components in a computer. The number of logic components within the computer is varied by either adding or removing a logic component. A second resistive load is selected to be applied to the bus after the number of logic circuits in the computer has been changed. The selection of a second resistance enables the slew rate to be controlled when the number of components change.
