Claim Text:
1. A circuit comprising: a first complementary buffer comprising a power input and a ground input; a capacitor comprising a first terminal connected to the power input of the first buffer and a second terminal connected to the ground input of the first buffer so that when the first buffer draws a current from the power input, at least a portion of the current is supplied by the capacitor from the first terminal; a second complementary buffer comprising a power input, a ground input, and a line input; and an inverter connected to the line input of the second buffer; wherein the first terminal of the capacitor is also connected to the power input of the second buffer and the second terminal of the capacitor is also connected to the ground input of the second buffer such that, via coupling of the power input to the second buffer that draws a current supply, a current is supplied from the ground input of the second buffer to the second terminal of the capacitor; and wherein via electrical coupling of the current supplied to the second terminal of the capacitor from the ground input of the second buffer and the current supplied to the first buffer from the first terminal of the capacitor, the capacitor is cyclically charged and discharged to recycle current between the first buffer and the second buffer.
