Abstract:
An enhanced differential logic gate, comprising:a differential output boost stage having control inputs coupled to receive first and second regulated voltages and having first and second outputs coupled to provide first and second continuous output boost signals substantially operating at a first supply voltage, wherein the differential output boost stage comprises: a first amplifier having a voltage supply terminal coupled to receive the supply voltage, an input terminal coupled to receive the first regulated voltage and an output terminal coupled to provide the first continuous output boost signal, and a second amplifier having a voltage supply terminal coupled to receive the supply voltage an input terminal coupled to receive the second regulated voltage and an output terminal coupled to provide the second continuous output boost signal; and a differential output stage having control inputs coupled to receive the first and second continuous output boost signals wherein the control inputs are substantially operating at the supply voltage and coupled to provide first and second enhanced output signals.
