More Information
Summary:An apparatus and method for a voltage driver circuit where a path between a ground node and an output node includes an inductor and/or another storage element and an energy transfer circuit composed of at least two switching elements (e.g., transistors) and at least two valve elements (e.g. diodes). The energy transfer circuit operates to discharge a capacitive load (e.g. output capacitor) into the storage element and facilitate transition from low to high voltage while increasing efficiency. An additional path to ground may be included via another switching element to prevent crosstalk and hold the output at ground potential.
