Sub-1V bootstrapped CMOS driver for giga-scale-integration era

A logic circuit designed for the 0.5-1 V supply regime, based on a 0.25 μm double-well CMOS technology is described. Using circuit techniques that lead to short turn-on time for the output driving devices, efficient bootstrapping and high-speed full-swing operation have been achieved. Comparative evaluations between the proposed circuit against a double-stage CMOS driver and a reported 1.5 V bootstrapped CMOS circuit have indicated its competitiveness in very-low-voltage environments
