ABSTRACT:
Circuits and methods are provided for producing a rail-to-rail output voltage. A circuit includes a level shifter and a source follower. The level shifter receives an input signal and applies a compensation voltage to the input signal relative to a voltage level of the input signal in steady-state. The source follower produces an output signal and, responsive to variations in the voltage level of the input signal, changes the voltage level of the output signal.
