I/O circuits and a method for transmitting different types of I/O signals are disclosed. An embodiment of the I/O circuit comprises multiple transistors with multiple switches coupled to the transistors. The switches may be used to selectively couple the transistors to a power source or to another transistor to form different transistor configurations. The transistors may be configured to form a parallel configuration or a stacked configuration. Stacking up transistors may reduce voltage swings in the transistors and subsequently reduce degradation in the transistors.
