Abstract
A simple, low cost, gate driver and bias circuit provides for a wider operating voltage range exceeding the normal component breakdown voltage of components such as NMOS and PMOS transistors. A CMOS process with an epitaxial layer as bulk and p-type substrate is used to implement the circuit in this example.
