Abstract
A technique for expanding an input signal includes receiving the input signal at a first node of a voltage expander and generating a plurality of expanded signals on different outputs of the voltage expander responsive to the input signal. In certain embodiments, each of the expanded signals has a different magnitude at a respective fixed offset from the input signal.
