Claim 16:
17. A method for controlling a data input/output using a plurality of control level circuits including at least one first control level circuit and one last control level circuit, wherein each control level circuit has at least one control element, wherein a number of control elements of the last control level circuit is greater than a number of control elements of the first control level circuit, the method comprising:
providing a first control signal to each control element in a first sequence starting at the first control level circuit and ending at the last control level circuit, to provide current at a first current level for the data input/output; and
subsequently providing a second control signal in a second sequence to the control elements of at least the last control level circuit, to provide current at a second current level for the data input/output, the second current level being greater than the first current level.
