Abstract:
1. A method for equalizing a signal, comprising: introducing a delay into an incoming data signal to generate a first delayed signal, the incoming data signal and the first delayed signal of a first format; identifying a plurality of drivers operable to receive the incoming signal and the first delayed signal, each of the plurality of drivers having an associated drive strength; selecting a first driver from the plurality of drivers to receive the incoming signal, the selection based at least in part on a comparison of the drive strength associated with the first driver to a maximum output current of the first driver; selecting a second driver from the plurality of drivers to receive the first delayed signal, the selection based at least in part on a comparison of the drive strength associated with the second driver to a maximum output current of the second driver; directing the incoming signal to the first driver; and directing the first delayed signal to the second driver.
