ABSTRACT:
A driving circuit for driving a floating circuit (28) responsive to a digital signal (IN) includes two DMOS transistors (10, 12) which are driven in opposite phase on their respective gates starting from the digital signal. The two DMOS transistors are biased by a current source which is formed by a current mirror (16, 18), which mirrors a reference current (I.sub.BIAS), and by an auxiliary circuit (34-44) for injecting an additional current pulse during switching. Two MOS transistors (20, 22) serve as the respective loads for the two DMOS transistors. The MOS transistors can be P-channel transistors, in which event the gate of each MOS transistor (20, 22) can be connected to the drain of the other MOS transistor. Two Zener diodes (24, 26) can be employed to limit the voltage between the gate and source of the respective MOS transistor. The driving output of the floating circuit (28) can be the drain of one of the DMOS transistors.
