Abstract :
An Input Output (IO) Buffer for memory Interface is proposed with the concept of a merged driver which helps in improving the linearity of the driver with a reduced area. A novel calibration scheme is proposed which can adjust larger driver resistance and termination impedance changes for temperature and voltage drifts in a fewer cycles of system clock which will improve the valid data window.
