Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for driving a node to one or more elevated voltages. One example apparatus includes a first driver circuit configured to drive a node to a first voltage, and a second driver circuit configured to drive the node to a pumped voltage after the node reaches a voltage threshold. The apparatus also includes a controller circuit configured to disable the first driver circuit and enable the second driver circuit responsive to the node reaching the voltage threshold.
