ABSTRACT:
A bootstrapped driver particularly suitable for CMOS integrated circuits. The circuit permits precharging of gates which require bootstrapping in the driver, thus avoiding the time required in prior art circuits to charge relatively large gate capacitance after the input signal is applied to the driver. A circuit is provided to reduce the bootstrapping of the gate after it has begun to reduce possible gate edge aided breakdown. Substantial improvement in rise time or fall time is achieved.
