Abstract
An apparatus for dynamic termination logic of bi-directional data buses and methods of operating the same result in bi-directional data buses with improved data transfer performance. The bi-directional data bus for wire-or data transfers comprises a first end-driver coupled to a first end of the data bus configured to drive the first end of the data bus with a first signal. The second end-driver coupled to the second end of the data bus is configured to dynamically terminate the first signal from the first end-driver.
