ABSTRACT:
An apparatus includes termination circuitry to terminate one or more lines. The termination circuitry draws a first current from a termination voltage supply through a termination voltage delivery network for each terminated line carrying a first signal. Partial current shunt circuitry draws a second current from the termination voltage supply through the termination voltage delivery network for each terminated line carrying a second signal. The first and second currents are distinct.
