Slew rate control of output drivers using fets with different threshold voltages

A novel method and apparatus is presented for reducing the slew rate of transition edges of a digital signal on a node of an integrated circuit by connecting transistors with differing threshold voltages between the node and a voltage source and driving the gates of these transistors with the same d...
