Abstract: A pre-driver circuit generates a driver bias signal based on a swing command, a driver impedance characteristic, and an input signal. A driver receives the driver bias signal and generates, in response, a driver signal having a swing and having an output impedance corresponding to the bias signal. Optionally, the driver receives power from a switchable one of multiple supply rails, according to the swing. Optionally, the driver has voltage controlled resistor elements and the driver bias signal is generated based on the swing command and a replica of the driver voltage controlled resistor elements.

Abstract: Systems and methods for decoding pulse-width modulated (PWM) data are disclosed. An example decoder filters a data input signal with a one-sided pulse filter. The one-sided pulse filter suppresses short pulses on the data input signal and passes long pulses. The example decoder latch the filtered data signal at the end of each bit time of the data input signal. The duration of pulses that are suppressed by the one-sided pulse filter can be calibrated to compensate for circuit variations and to allow the decoder to operate at various data rates. The decoder can be implemented in a small integrated circuit area and can be power efficient.
