Claim Text:
1. A driver circuit comprising: a first plurality of series-connected inverters, each inverter having an input terminal and an output terminal, the output terminal of one inverter coupled to an input terminal of a subsequent inverter; a second plurality of series-connected inverters, each inverter having an input terminal and an output terminal, the output terminal of one inverter coupled to an input of a subsequent inverter, the second plurality of series-connected inverters having a same number of inverters as the first plurality of series-connected inverters; a first transistor having a first current electrode coupled to a first power supply terminal, a control electrode coupled to the output terminal of a last inverter in the first plurality of series-connected inverters, and a second current electrode coupled to an output terminal; a second transistor having a first current electrode coupled to the output terminal, a control electrode coupled to the output terminal of a last inverter in the second plurality of series-connected inverters, and a second current electrode coupled to a second power supply terminal; and a plurality of capacitors, each capacitor of the plurality of capacitors coupled between the output terminals of corresponding inverters of the first and second pluralities of series-connected inverters.
