A simultaneous bidirectional port coupled to a bus combines a synchronization circuit and a data transceiver circuit. The combination data and synchronization transceiver circuit synchronizes the port with another simultaneous bidirectional port coupled to the same bus. The combination data and synchronization transceiver circuit includes a driver with a variable output current and a variable output resistance. Prior to synchronization, the driver has a low output current and low output resistance. When the simultaneous bidirectional port is ready to communicate, the variable output resistance is increased. When both simultaneous bidirectional ports are ready, the variable output resistance is set to properly terminate the line, and the variable output current is set to provide a desired voltage swing.
