Bootstrapped full--swing CMOS driver for low supply voltage operation

This paper reports a high speed and low power consumption direct–indirect bootstrapped full–swing CMOS inverter driver circuit (bfi–driver). The simulation results, based on 0.13µm triple well CMOS technology, show that, when operated at 1V , bfi–driver is 94% faster and consumes 22% less power compared to a counterpart direct bootstrap circuit [1].
