A method is described that involves driving a first current through a line and a termination resistance so that a logical value on the line changes from a first logical value to a second logical value. The method also includes holding the second logical value on the line by driving a second current through the line and the termination resistance where the second current less than the first current. An apparatus is described that includes a driver that drives a first current through a line and a termination resistance so that a logical value on the line changes from a first logical value to a second logical value. The driver holds the second logical value on the line by driving a second current through the line and the termination resistance. The second current is less than said first current.
