Patent ID: 7885300

Claim:
A system for driving a device load, the system comprising: an integrated circuit comprising: a first input configured for receiving a data signal; a second input configured for receiving a clock signal; a multiplexer configured for: receiving the data signal and the clock signal; and for a device load driven differentially, outputting the data signal as a multiplexed signal to a clock buffer device; the clock buffer device configured for receiving the multiplexed signal and outputting the multiplexed signal to a power network; and a data buffer device configured for: receiving the data signal, wherein the received data signal is transmitted from the first input of the integrated circuit to the data buffer device without passing through the multiplexer; and outputting the received data signal to the power network; and the power network to couple said integrated circuit to said device load, the power network configured for receiving the data signal from the data buffer device and receiving the multiplexed signal from the clock buffer device for driving the device load, the device load being coupled to the power network at both ends of the device load.
