Patent ID: 8058907

Claim:
An inverter device comprising: at least a first transistor connected between a power source node and ground, the first transistor including a first gate and a first terminal that are capacitively-coupled internal to the first transistor to control a boost voltage at a boost node, the first terminal being one of a first source and a first drain of the first transistor, wherein a plurality of transistors are connected between the power source node and ground, the plurality of transistors including, the first transistor, wherein a power voltage is applied to the first drain, a second transistor including a second gate, a second source, and a second drain, wherein an input voltage is applied to the second gate, and the second drain is connected to the first source at an output node through which an output voltage is output, and a third transistor including a third gate, a third source, and a third drain, wherein the power voltage is applied to the third gate and the third drain, and the third source is connected to the first gate, and the third gate and the third source are internally capacitive-coupled.
