Abstract:
An interface circuit includes a pre-driver coupled convert a single-ended signal to an intermediate differential signal. An output driver is coupled to convert the intermediate differential signal to an output differential signal having a variable output swing responsive to a mode select signal and a second supply voltage. A replica bias circuit is coupled to receive a first supply voltage, the mode select signal, and an open termination enable signal to generate a bias signal. An internal regulator is coupled to receive the bias signal and the first supply voltage to supply the second voltage to the output driver in response to the bias signal. An open termination circuit is coupled to an output of the output driver, and is coupled to receive the open termination enable signal to couple an internal load to the output of the output driver in response to the open termination enable signal.
