Abstract:
A current-starved inverter circuit includes first and second current-mirror circuits, first and second transistors, a detector, and a current-booster. The first and second transistors receive a first source current and a first sink current from the first and second current-mirror circuits, respectively, and an input voltage signal, and generate an inverted input voltage signal (an output voltage signal). The detector generates a first detection signal when the output voltage signal exceeds a first threshold value and a second detection signal when the output voltage signal is less than a second threshold value. The current-booster, which is connected to the detector, receives the first and second detection signals and provides a second source current and a second sink current to the first and second transistors to pull-up and pull-down a voltage level of the output voltage signal, respectively.
