ABSTRACT:
A method according to one embodiment may include controlling, by an integrated circuit, a first plurality of switches to generate a first output signal having a first amplitude and a second amplitude and a second plurality of switches to generate a second output signal having a third amplitude and the second amplitude. The method according to this embodiment may also include balancing, by the integrated circuit, the number of switch transitions of said first and second plurality of switches when said first and second output signals go from said first and third amplitudes to said second amplitude, respectively. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.
