    Abstract: Integrated driver circuits include a pull-up circuit having a first plurality of PMOS pull-up transistors therein which are selectively enabled by a first multi-bit impedance control signal. This first multi-bit impedance control signal is a function of a first variable resistance device. A pull-down circuit is also provided. The pull-down circuit has a first plurality of NMOS pull-down transistors therein which are selectively enabled by a second multi-bit impedance control signal. This second multi-bit impedance control signal is a function of a resistance of a second variable resistance device. The pull-up circuit and pull-down circuit have commonly connected outputs. In particular, the pull-up circuit has a first impedance which is a function of a digital value of the first multi-bit impedance control signal and the pull-down circuit has a second impedance which is a function of a digital value of the second multi-bit impedance control signal. Moreover, the first variable resistance device and the second variable resistance device may be external to the pull-up circuit and the pull-up circuit, respectively. The resistances of the first and second variable resistance devices may also be independently controllable as separate potentiometers.
