Abstract :
A high-speed and low-power driver employing a single bootstrap capacitor is reported. It outperforms the other CMOS bootstrap drivers in terms of power dissipation, performance, and active area, under the similar loading conditions and circuit parameters, when implemented in the triple-well 0.13-mum CMOS process from UMC
