Patent ID: 7755684

Claim:
A row driver circuit, comprising: a voltage supply; a boosted voltage supply comprising a voltage that is larger than the voltage supply by a boosted amount; a pre-driver operably coupled to the voltage supply and configured to generate a driver voltage that is at least the boosted amount above a reference voltage, wherein the pre-driver is further configured to receive an input signal; a first transistor operably coupled in series between a second transistor and a ground voltage, wherein a gate of the first transistor is configured to receive the input signal, wherein the second transistor is operably coupled in series between the first transistor and an output signal, wherein the second transistor is configured to conduct and generate a drain-to-source voltage drop of at least the boosted amount; and a third transistor operably coupled between the boosted voltage supply and the output signal, wherein a gate of the third transistor is configured to receive the driver voltage.
