Output Slew Rate

Each output channel has independent adjustments for the rising and falling edge slew rates.

The driver output stage also has a programmable bias current which can be used to manage overall power consumption of the PEs, i.e. lower bias current settings can be used for lower data rate / edge rate applications. Note that the slew rate will be affected by the bias current settings. The slew rate range is programmable from 0.1 V/ns to 1.0 V/ns with a high bias current setting. The channels’ slew rates can be read back and set dynamically at any time even when the DIO is in the run state.
