ABSTRACT:
A driver circuit (12) having a reduced propagation delay is provided. The driver circuit (12) includes a first device (56) having an input and operable to switch a supply voltage to a load (14). A second device (54) having an output coupled to the input of the first device (56), operable to turn on the first device upon receipt of a first signal. A third device (66) having an output coupled to the input of the first device (56), operable to turn off the first device upon receipt of a second signal. A kick start circuit (30) coupled to the input for the first device (56), the input for the second device (54), and the input for the third device (66), operable to generate a threshold voltage on the first device (56), the second device (54), and the third device (66). The kick start circuit (30) operable to produce a threshold voltage that is just below the voltage in which the first device (56), the second device (54), and the third device (66) turn on, or conduct.
