Abstract
A system according to one embodiment includes input stage circuitry configured to receive input data; output stage circuitry configured to generate buffered output data based on said received input data, said output stage circuitry comprising a first switch and a second switch, wherein said first switch comprises a first gate configured to control said first switch through an inverted gate signal and said second switch comprises a second gate configured to control said second switch through a non-inverted gate signal; first feedback inverter circuitry configured to enable pull-up of said second gate based on an input to said first gate, said first feedback inverter circuitry is further configured to provide an adjustable transition threshold for generation of said pull-up enable; and second feedback inverter circuitry configured to enable pull-down of said first gate based on an input to said second gate, said second feedback inverter circuitry is further configured to provide an adjustable transition threshold for generation of said pull-down enable.
