Abstract
A current controller for a multi-level current mode driver. The current controller includes a multi-level voltage reference and at least one source calibration signal. A comparator is coupled by a coupling network to the multi-level voltage reference and the at least one source calibration signal. A selected voltage is applied from the multi-level voltage reference and a selected source calibration signal is applied from the at least one source calibration signal to the comparator.
