Abstract

The disclosure presents a device comprising a driver configured to transmit a signal on a bus line, including a driver element configured to pull against termination impedance. The impedance of the driver element is dynamically adjustable. The disclosure also presents a method of electronically adjusting the impedance of the driver element to regulate the swing voltage on the bus line.
