Abstract
A transmitter controls the fall time on an open-drain link including multiple components. The transmitter includes an input driver to receive data and transmit the data on the open-drain link, thereby activating the open-drain link. The transmitter also includes a feedback mechanism to keep track of a pad when the open-drain link is activated and to determine when the pad reaches a predetermined amount of a supply voltage. When the pad reaches the predetermined amount of a supply voltage, the feedback mechanism triggers an appropriate main pull-down driver to control the fall time.
