Abstract:
A unit cell having an input and an output, comprising:a driver transistor having an input node coupled to said input of said unit cell, an output node, and a node coupled to a first operating potential, said driver transistor being operational when said node is coupled to said first operating potential and when said output node is coupled to a second operational potential;a capacitance coupled between said input node and said output node;a reset switch coupled between said input node and said output node in parallel with said capacitance; andan output switch coupled between said driver transistor output node and said output of said unit cell, wherein said output switch, when closed, couples said driver transistor output node to said second operating potential through a load that is external to said unit cell such that said driver transistor is made operational.
