ABSTRACT:
A device and method of reducing ground bounce using a CMOS driver 200. The driver includes a first CMOS pass gate 214 and a second CMOS pass gate 222. The first pass gate is used to drive the gate of a PMOS pull-up transistor 210, while the second pass gate is used to drive the gate of an NMOS pull-down transistor 218.
