Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An apparatus is described herein. The apparatus includes a plurality of electrical components, wherein at least one component is to increase a total impedance at a port. The apparatus also includes a comparator, wherein the comparator is to determine an additional impedance from the plurality of electrical components at the port and adjust the impedance to maintain signal integrity along a trace to the port in response to a device being coupled with the port.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . An apparatus, comprising: a high speed pull-up driver having a variable output impedance; a comparator coupled to the high speed pull-up driver to compare an output voltage of the high speed pull-up driver to a reference voltage, and to signal a result of the comparison to a finite state machine, the finite state machine to select the reference voltage for the comparison and to control the output impedance of the high speed pull-up driver based on the r…
