1. An apparatus, comprising:
an interface configured to receive a data signal and supply the data signal to a transmission line, comprising:
a data-path circuit configured to receive the data signal and generate therefrom a first signal derived from the data signal and receive a second signal derived from the data signal; and
a driver configured to drive the transmission line from an output node, comprising:
a first transistor having a control gate connected to receive the first signal derived from the data signal and connected between a first supply level and the output node;
a second transistor having a control gate connected to receive the second signal derived from the data signal and connected between a second supply level and the output node, the first supply level being one of a high supply level and a low supply level and the second supply level being another of the high supply level and the low supply level;
a first resistor connected between the first supply level and first transistor; and
a first capacitor connected to a node between the first transistor and the low supply level.
