ABSTRACT:
An output driver includes a pull-up unit including a pull-up element and a first inductive peaking element connected in series between a first voltage and an output node and a pull-down unit including a pull-down element and a second inductive peaking element connected in series between a second voltage and the output node. The pull-up and pull-down elements receive an input data signal and adjust a voltage level of the output node, and the first and second inductive peaking elements perform an inductive peaking operation when the input data signal transitions.
