Abstract
The present invention provides an inverter and a bootstrap inverter with improved output characteristics. The inverter comprises a first and second load transistors, a driving transistor, and a control transistor. The control transistor, when turned on, effectively grounds the source of the first load transistor, ensuring a 0V output. The bootstrap inverter further includes a bootstrap transistor and a capacitor. This configuration solves the problems of output voltage being lower than VDD for logic '1' and not completely 0V for logic ‘0’, achieving ideal output levels.
