1. A distributed driver that comprises:
a first set of transistors each configured to drive a first bus line;
a first set of delay elements configured to enable and disable the first set of transistors sequentially;
a second set of transistors each configured to drive a second bus line; and
a second set of delay elements configured to enable and disable the second set of transistors sequentially;
wherein a first node in the first set of delay elements is capacitively coupled to a corresponding second node in the second set of delay elements to synchronize signal transitions at the first and second nodes.
