ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a method and system of generating and delivering a high voltage signal without latch-up hazards and without incurring a voltage drop due to the threshold of the switching element. The utilization of NMOS elements when switching a high voltage signal may remove latch-up hazards. Switching of the high voltage signal may be accomplished without incurring a voltage drop in the signal. With multiple transistors, switching of a high voltage signal in accordance with the present invention may provide an output driven to a destination circuit on each phase wherein clock cycles may be overlapping and non-overlapping.
