Abstract
A device includes a first transistor having a first source, a first gate, a first drain, and one or more electrodes. The first transistor serves as an inverter. The device also includes a second transistor having a second source, a second gate, and a second drain. The first and second sources are connected together. The first and second drains are connected together. The second transistor serves as an output, a driver, or both. The one or more electrodes, the second gate, or a combination thereof serve as tapped drains that are configured to sample a stepped voltage of the second transistor.
