Abstract
An MOS dynamic buffer circuit described in terms of an inverter and used for inverting a timing signal is disclosed. Through the use of bootstrapping, the output from the inverter is equal to the voltage used to drive the inverter without having conduction through the output transistor when the inverter is not supplying an output signal. Thus, the inverter does not require the large amounts of standby power associated with prior art circuits.
