Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A device, comprising an output terminal; an output circuit coupled to the output terminal and having an adjustable impedance; and an impedance adjustment circuit adjusting stepwise the adjustable impedance so as to head toward a first reference impedance. The impedance adjustment circuit changes the adjustable impedance by a first amount when the adjustable impedance is within a first range, and changes the adjustable impedance by a second amount when the adjustable impedance is out of the first range. The first amount is smaller than the second amount.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A device comprising: an output terminal; a first output circuit connected to the output terminal and being indicative of a first impedance; and an impedance adjustment circuit including: a first terminal, a first replica circuit coupled to the first terminal and being indicative of an first replica impedance, a reference voltage generation circuit generating a plurality of reference voltages that are different in potential level from each other, a…
