Abstract
A high-speed I/O driver includes circuitry that is configurable to meet single-ended and differential I/O signal standards. For one embodiment, the driver includes four input circuits that can be configured to implement two CMOS inverters to process single-ended signals or configured to implement a differential circuit to process differential signals.
