Patent ID: 8847658

Claim:
An overdrive circuit comprising: a pull-up circuit electrically connected to a first node; and a pull-down circuit comprising: a first transistor having a drain electrode electrically connected to the first node; a second transistor having a drain electrode electrically connected to a source electrode of the first transistor; a third transistor having a drain electrode electrically connected to a source electrode of the second transistor; a capacitor having a first electrode electrically connected to a gate electrode of the third transistor, and a second electrode electrically connected to a gate electrode of the first transistor; a first mono-directional bias device having a first electrode electrically connected to the drain electrode of the first transistor, and a second electrode electrically connected to the gate electrode of the first transistor; and a second mono-directional bias device having a first electrode electrically connected to the gate electrode of the first transistor, and a second electrode electrically connected to the source electrode of the first transistor.
