ABSTRACT:
A CMOS driver circuit for producing a high-level voltage, exceeding the voltage supply, uses an inverter and an output stage. The inverter circuit is supplied from the usual voltage supply for the chip, and this inverter is followed by the output stage which is supplied from an on-chip generator producing a higher level voltage. The current requirement of the on-chip generator is kept to a minimum by charging the output capacitance mainly from the voltage supply, and using the output stage only for the latter part of a charging cycle.
