Abstract

Some embodiments include an output driver having a first circuit to provide a plurality of first parallel circuit paths between an output node and a first supply node, a second circuit to provide a plurality of second parallel circuit paths between the output node and a second supply node, and a control circuit responsive to a voltage at the output node to vary a value of a current in the plurality of first parallel circuit paths and a value of a second current in the plurality of second parallel circuit paths to control a signal shape of the output signal. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
