Claim:
1. An apparatus comprising: a first circuit configured to translate an input signal in a first voltage domain to generate a complementary pair of first signals in a second voltage domain, wherein (i) said input signal comprises a complementary input signal and (ii) said complementary pair of first signals comprise four first signals; a second circuit configured to logically switch said first signals to generate a complementary pair of second signals in said second voltage domain, wherein said first signals are logically switched such that both of said second signals are inactive before one of said second signals transitions from inactive to active; and a third circuit configured to amplify said second signals to generate a complementary pair of output signals in said second voltage domain, wherein each of said output signals has a current capacity to drive one or more of a plurality of diodes in a diode switch circuit.
