ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates a compensated output buffer circuit providing an improved slew rate control and a method for minimizing the variations in the current slew rate of the buffer over process, voltage and temperature (PVT) conditions. The output buffer circuit includes a split-gate compensated driver and a slew rate control circuit. Accordingly, a desired slew rate can be maintained with fewer variations over wide range of variations in PVT conditions.
