Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for techniques to configure drivers are described. A memory device may calibrate a set of drivers at multiple reference voltages corresponding to different signal values of the drivers. In some examples, a driver associated with transmitting data may include an inductor and the memory device may include a calibration circuit to identify one or more configurations for a set of pull-up circuits and a set of pull-down circuits of the driver both with and without the inductor. The calibration circuit may compare an output of a first pull-up circuit isolated from the inductor with one or more reference voltages, compare an output of a second pull-up circuit coupled with the inductor with the one or more reference voltages, and compare an output of a pull-down circuit isolated from the inductor to the one or more reference voltages.
