ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit device includes a transmitter circuit having an output driver to output data, and a register to store a value representative of an equalization co-efficient setting of the output driver. The value may be determined based on information stored in a supplemental memory device. The value is representative of an equalization co-efficient setting that compensates for signals present on an external signal line. The signals present on the external signal line comprise one selected from residual signals and cross coupled signals.
