Abstract:
A circuit can include a pair of switching devices that are coupled to an intermediate switching node and another pair of switching devices that are coupled to an output node. The circuit can further include a magnetic element that can help to store energy when the circuit transitions from a low state to a high state and release the energy when the circuit transitions from a high state to a low state. The circuit can include a control device to allow synchronous operation between the different pairs of switching devices. The magnetic element can help to reduce voltage swings at the output switching node. Thus, switching devices within each of the pairs can be optimized to allow for better performance of the circuit.
