A new 2.5V CMOS large capacitive-load driver circuit, using a direct bootstrap technique, for low-voltage CMOS VLSI digital design is presented. The proposed driver circuit exhibits a high speed and low power consumption to drive large capacitive loads. We compare our driver structure with the direct bootstrap circuit [1] in terms of the product of three metrics, active area, propagation time delay and power consumption. Results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed driver circuit.
