Abstract

Data driver systems are provided that have programmable modes of operation to thereby facilitate selection of output signal forms and reduction of output ports in signal conditioning systems (e.g., analog-to-digital converters). The systems effectively reduce pin count by sharing pins between different drivers and selectively configuring the drivers in driver and high output-impedance states.
