Output driver

A driver circuit, comprising:

• an output node;
• a first transistor for sinking a first amount of current from the output node when activated;
• a second transistor for sinking a second amount of current from the output node when activated;
• a third transistor coupled to the first transistor and activates the first transistor and the second transistor in response to a transition of a first signal;
• and
• a first resistive element coupled to the third transistor and to the second transistor, the first resistive element delays activation of the second transistor until after activation of the first transistor;
• a fourth transistor coupled to the second transistor;
• a fifth transistor for sourcing a first amount of current to the output node when activated;
• a sixth transistor for sourcing a second amount of current to the output node when activated;
• a seventh transistor coupled to the fifth transistor, the seventh transistor activates the fifth transistor and the sixth transistor in response to a transition of the first signal;
• and
• a second resistive element coupled to the seventh and the sixth transistors, the second resistive element delays activation of the sixth transistor until after activation of the fifth transistor;
• an eighth transistor coupled to the first transistor;
• a ninth transistor coupled to the sixth transistor;
• a tenth transistor coupled to the fifth transistor;
• and wherein;
• the fourth and eighth transistors deactivate the second and first transistors, respectively and relatively simultaneously in response to a transition of the first signal from a first logic level to a second logic level;
• and
• the ninth and tenth transistors deactivate the sixth and fifth transistors, respectively and relatively simultaneously in response to a transition of the first signal from the second logic level to the first logic level.
