Impedance matched clock driver with amplitude control
Abstract:
A clock driver circuit. In some embodiments the clock driver circuit includes an output stage, a first voltage source, and an output impedance adjusting circuit. The output stage includes a first transistor connected to the first voltage source and to an output of the drive circuit. The drive circuit is configured to operate in one of, at least, a first state, and a second state. The output impedance adjusting circuit is configured to reduce a difference between an output impedance of the drive circuit in: the first state, in which the first transistor is turned on and the first voltage source is at a first supply voltage, and the second state, in which the first transistor is turned on and the first voltage source is at a second supply voltage different from the first supply voltage.
