Abstract
A system for driving a signal is provided that includes a biasing circuit operable to receive an input signal and operable to produce a bias signal based on the input signal. A drive circuit includes a sensor circuit including a transistor coupled to a first power supply. The drive circuit is coupled to the biasing circuit. The drive circuit is operable to receive the bias signal and to produce an amplified signal based on the bias signal. An output circuit includes a transistor coupled to a second power supply. The output circuit is coupled to the drive circuit. The output circuit is operable to receive the amplified signal and to produce an output signal based on the amplified signal.
