Abstract
A row driver circuit receives a first supply voltage and a second supply voltage. The circuit provides the first supply voltage on an output responsive to the first supply voltage being greater than a threshold value. The circuit generates a boosted voltage that is greater than the first supply voltage and provides that boosted voltage on the output responsive to the first supply voltage being less than the threshold value.
