International ClassH03K 019/017.5AbstractA method includes selecting either a current signaling mode or a voltage signaling mode to communicate with a serial bus. When the current signaling mode is selected, an output stage is placed in the current signaling mode, and when the voltage signaling mode is selected, the output stage is placed in the voltage signaling mode.Field of SearchCurrent driving (e.g., fan in/out, off chip driving, etc.)With capacitive or inductive bootstrapping Bipolar transistor Bi-CMOS Bus driving Having plural output pull-up or pull-down transistors Bus driving With capacitive or inductive bootstrapping Having plural output pull-up or pull-down transistors Having plural output pull-up or pull-down transistors Field-effect transistor Converting input voltage to output current or vice versa Converting, per se, of an AC input to corresponding DC at an unloaded output Current driver Driver circuits | |
