Signal driving circuitry includes first and second drivers that are coupled to different points on a transmission line having an impedance. The first driver includes a transistor and a resistance that matches the transmission line impedance. The transistor is active to drive the transmission line to a specified voltage when the first and second drivers are inactive. In one configuration, the first and second drivers include CMOS drivers. In another configuration, the first driver includes a CMOS driver while the second driver includes a GTL-type driver. Termination devices in the first and second drivers may be alternately switched in and out of the signal driving circuitry depending on which driver is activated.
