Abstract
In one embodiment, a semiconductor device may include forming a first inverter and a second inverter to selectively receive separate inputs of a differential input signal and directly connecting each of the first and second inverters to receive power directly from a voltage input and a voltage return. The first inverter may be configured to include a first control switch that is configured to selectively couple together an upper transistor and a lower transistor of the first inverter. The second inverter may be configured to include a second control switch that is configured to selectively couple together an upper transistor and a lower transistor of the second inverter.
