Abstract

Various driver circuit apparatuses and methods for driving an electrical signal are disclosed herein. For example, some embodiments provide a driver circuit including a controlled-slew rate input circuit, a buffer that is connected to the controlled-slew rate input circuit, and an output driver that is connected to the buffer. The driver circuit is adapted to drive an output signal from the output driver based on an input signal to the controlled-slew rate input circuit. The impedance at the input of the output driver is lower than the impedance at the output of the controlled-slew rate input circuit.
