Single-ended output driver buffer

A method of adjusting an output voltage of an output pad, the method comprising:

• receiving a data signal;
• precharging a first capacitor to a first voltage;
• in response to the data signal transitioning from a first value to a second value, connecting the first capacitor to a gate of a first output driver transistor connected to the output pad;
• and
• connecting a first reference voltage to the gate of the first output driver transistor following a first time period after the first capacitor is connected to the gate of the first output driver transistor, wherein the first capacitor is adapted to buffer noise associated with the first output driver transistor during the first time period.

An output driver buffer circuit comprising:

• a first means for adjusting an output voltage of an output pad;
• a first means for buffering noise associated with the first adjusting means;
• a first means for connecting the first buffering means to the first adjusting means;
• and
• a first means for connecting a first reference voltage to the first adjusting means following a first time period after the first buffering means is connected to the first adjusting means.
