ABSTRACT:
A high speed, low-to-high voltage CMOS driver circuit has a CMOS output stage, an intermediate voltage translation stage, and an input stage. The input and intermediate stages are designed to generate mutually exclusive control signals which activate the PMOS and NMOS transistors of the output stage. The control signals operably turn "off" the active transistor before turning "on" the inactive transistor. Independent control signals substantially reduce or eliminate crossing current in the output stage to thereby reduce energy power waste.
