Embodiments of the invention include an integrated circuit output buffer, with a pre-drive stage and an output driver stage, that provides linear performance independent of the load impedance. The output driver stage includes a pull-up resistor arrangement having a plurality of branches connected in parallel and, alternatively at least one pull-down resistor arrangement having a plurality of branches connected in parallel. The branches of the pull-up resistor arrangement include at least one resistor and at least one transistor serially connected between a supply voltage and the output buffer output terminal connectable to the PAD external to the output buffer. The transistor in the pull-up arrangement is connected to both the data terminals from the pre-drive stage and the control bit terminals.
