Abstract:
1. A circuit comprising: a first transistor having a first main current node coupled to a first node for receiving a first voltage signal, a control node coupled to a second node for receiving a second voltage signal, and a second main current node coupled to an output node of the circuit; a second transistor having a first main current node coupled to a third node for receiving a third voltage signal, a control node coupled to a fourth node for receiving a fourth voltage signal, and a second main current node coupled to said output node of the circuit; and circuitry configured to generate said first, second, third and fourth voltage signals based on a pair of differential input signals and to provide said first, second, third and fourth voltage signals to said first, second, third, and fourth nodes, respectively, wherein said first and second voltage signals are both referenced to a first supply voltage terminal and wherein said third and fourth voltage signals are both referenced to a second supply voltage terminal, wherein the pair of differential input signals has a voltage swing that is different from a voltage swing of an output signal generated at the output node of the circuit.
