Abstract

An apparatus for providing a signal for transmission via a signal line includes a controller circuit having an output for a signal indicating whether the signal line is or will be in an inactive state and a switching circuit coupled to the controller circuit and having an output coupled to the signal line. The output is switched between different signal levels, if the signal indicates that the signal line is in an inactive state.
