Claim 13:
14. A method comprising:
disabling, for a first time period, a first current source coupled to a first current switch at a first output node of a driver circuit;
disabling, for the first time period, a second current source coupled to a second current switch at a ground terminal of the driver circuit;
enabling, for a second time period during and less than the first time period, a third current source coupled to the second current switch at a second output node of the driver circuit;
operating, for the second time period, a fourth current source coupled to the first current switch at the first output node;
enabling, for the second time period, a first pull-down switch coupled between the first current switch and the ground terminal; and
enabling, for the second time period, a second pull-down switch coupled between the second current switch and the ground terminal.
