Low power bootstrapped CMOS differential cross coupled driver

Abstract

This paper reports a high speed and low power consumption differential cross coupled bootstrapped CMOS driver circuit (db-driver). It is 34% faster and provides 8% less core area as compared to a counterpart circuit [1] (yc-driver) using indirect bootstrap technique. In addition, db-driver reduces the power consumption by 35%. db-driver is implemented on 0.13μm CMOS technology with a power supply of 1.2V.
