ABSTRACT:
An input signal is transmitted from a first device to a second device. At the second device the input signal method is received, and an output signal is generated in response to the input signal. The output signal is sensed, and the input signal is dynamically terminated in response to sensing the output data. In some embodiments, the receiving, generating and dynamically terminating occur within a single integrated circuit. In some embodiments, the method includes detecting a signal voltage level of the input signal and causing a termination voltage level to change from a first voltage level to a second voltage level in response to the signal voltage level.
