A transmitter includes a pull-down circuit coupled between an output of the transmitter and a first rail, a first pull-up circuit coupled between a second rail and the output of the transmitter, and a second pull-up circuit coupled between the second rail and the output of the transmitter. The transmitter also includes a control circuit coupled to a control input of the first pull-up circuit and a control input of the second pull-up circuit. The control circuit is configured to output a first control signal to the control input of the first pull-up circuit, wherein the first control signal controls a drive strength of the first pull-up circuit. The control circuit is also configured to output a second control signal to the control input of the second pull-up circuit, wherein the second control signal controls a drive strength of the second pull-up circuit.
A system, comprising:
A method of calibration using a calibration circuit including a first pull-up circuit and a second pull-up circuit, wherein each one of the first pull-up circuit and the second pull-up circuit is configured to pull up an output node, the method comprising:
