ABSTRACT:
An improved, compact high-speed inverting power driver fabricated from field effect transistors and capable of driving a relatively heavy load to full -V.sub.DD power supply voltage. The power driver includes a pair of positive feedback circuits having respective bootstrap capacitors arranged therein. The bootstrap capacitors are initially precharged, and the feedback paths act to substantially boost the voltage applied to operate a driver transistor so as to enable the load to be ultimately driven to a full -V.sub.DD voltage level via the conduction path of the driver transistor.
