    Abstract: A driver circuit includes a plurality of output circuits coupled in parallel between a differential input and a differential output and having a first common node and a second common node. Each of the plurality of output circuits includes a series combination of a pair of inverters and a pair of resistors, coupled between the differential input and the differential output; first source terminals of the pair of inverters coupled to the first common node; and second source terminals of the pair of inverters coupled to the second common node. The driver circuit further includes a first voltage regulator having an output coupled to the first common node of the plurality of output circuits; a second voltage regulator having an output coupled to the second common node of the plurality of circuits; and a current compensation circuit coupled between the outputs of the first voltage regulator and the second voltage regulator.

    Abstract: An example output driver includes a plurality of output circuits coupled in parallel between a first voltage supply node and a second voltage supply node. Each of the plurality of output circuits includes a differential input that is coupled to receive a logic signal of a plurality of logic signals and a differential output that is coupled to a common output node. The output driver further includes voltage regulator(s), coupled to the voltage supply node(s), and a current compensation circuit. The current compensation circuit includes a switch coupled in series with a current source, where the switch and the current source are coupled between the first voltage supply node and the second voltage supply node. An event detector is coupled to the switch to supply an enable signal and to control state of the enable signal based on presence of a pattern in the plurality of logic signals.
