ABSTRACT:
A low voltage differential swing interconnect I/O buffer within an output buffer part comprising a voltage controlled current source, voltage controlled current sink, and a current switch and an input buffer part comprising a voltage controlled resistance. The output current and input resistance of the I/O buffer is determined by biasing voltages which are generated by on-chip reference circuits and applied to the voltage controlled components of the I/O buffer. Using two input reference voltages and a single reference resistor, the reference circuits dynamically adjust the biasing voltages so that the I/O buffer maintains the required output current and input resistance for all manufacturing process, supply voltage, and chip temperature variations.
