Abstract: In a method of generating a multi-level signal having one of three or more voltage levels that are different from one another, input data including two or more bits is received. A drive strength of at least one of two or more driving paths is changed based on the two or more bits such that a first transition time, during which an output data signal is transitioned from a first voltage level to a second voltage level, is changed. The output data signal that is the multi-level signal is generated such that the first transition time of the output data signal is changed and a second transition time, during which the output data signal is transitioned from the first voltage level to a third voltage level different from the second voltage level, is maintained.
