Claim 10:
11. A circuit comprising:
a first switch coupled to a first voltage source;
a second switch coupled to the first switch;
a third switch coupled to the second switch, and coupled to a power output terminal;
a fourth switch coupled to the third switch, and coupled to the power output terminal;
a fifth switch coupled to the fourth switch;
a sixth switch coupled to the fifth switch, and coupled to a second voltage source;
a first inverter circuit having a first input terminal and a first output terminal, the first output terminal coupled to the first switch;
a second inverter circuit having a second input terminal and a second output terminal, the second output terminal coupled to the sixth switch; and
a bias voltage generator arranged to provide a first bias voltage to the second switch and to provide a second bias voltage to the fifth switch, wherein the bias voltage generator comprises a conductive path arranged to conduct charge from the second switch to the fifth switch through a transistor directly coupled between the second switch and the fifth switch.
