ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus comprising a first circuit configured to generate a first output in response to a first input, a second circuit configured to present a second output in response to a second input, and a third circuit configured to generate a first voltage signal and a second voltage signal in response to the first output and said second output. The first voltage signal may be above the positive supply and the second voltage signal may be below the negative supply.
