Abstract
Some embodiments of the present invention provide a programmable transmitter which includes a set of drivers and one or more chains of configuration registers. Each driver is capable of being configured to perform a transmission function from a predetermined set of transmission functions. Each configuration register can correspond to a driver, and can store configuration data which is used to configure the corresponding driver. The programmable transmitter can include configuration circuitry which serially shifts configuration data into the one or more chains of configuration registers. The programmable transmitter can also include programming circuitry which can determine configuration data for each driver based partly or solely on a desired transmitter behavior.
