R4400 Microprocessor User's Manual


D Output Buffer Di/Dt Control Mechanism


The speed of the R4000 output drivers is controlled by a negative feedback loop that insures the drive-off times are only as fast as necessary to meet the system requirement for single cycle transfers. This guarantees the minimum ground bounce from L*(Di/Dt) of the switching buffers, consistent with the system timing requirements.
