Abstract

Circuits and methods for balancing Bias Temperature Instability (BTI) are disclosed. An inverter circuit comprises an inverter input node configured to receive an inverter input signal, wherein the inverter input node is coupled to gates of an inverter pair, wherein the inverter pair includes an inverter pair n-type metal-oxide-semiconductor (NMOS) transistor and an inverter pair p-type metal-oxide-semiconductor (PMOS) transistor, an inverter output node configured to provide an inverter output signal, wherein the inverter output signal is an inversion of the inverter input signal, and at least one balancing transistor configured to balance a voltage at a source of the inverter pair PMOS, a source of the inverter pair NMOS, or any combination thereof.
