Abstract

In one embodiment, a method for increasing speed of a differential input pair. The method comprises applying a first boost current to a first input of the differential input pair during a transition of a first signal applied to the first input; storing the first boost current; ending the application of the first boost current in response to the stored first boost current exceeding a first threshold; applying a second boost current to a second input of the differential input pair during a transition of a second signal applied to the second input; storing the second boost current; and ending the application of the second boost current in response to the stored second boost current exceeding a second threshold.
