ABSTRACT:
A method and structure for providing dynamic control of a slew rate of an electronic circuit. The structure has a signal line that is coupled to a number of capacitive elements that may be selectively switched in or out of the electronic circuit in order to provide precise control of the slew rate of the electronic circuit. A control element switches the capacitive elements into the signal line so that the slew rate may be precisely controlled at one or more time instants. The method includes determining a desired slew rate of the electronic circuit. Based upon the desired value of the slew rate, one or more of the capacitive elements are switched into the signal line at one or more time instants without changing an output impedance of the electronic circuit.
