Abstract
In one embodiment, a circuit comprises a first load circuit coupled to a first input voltage. A current sinking circuit is coupled to an output of the first load circuit. A second load circuit is coupled to ground. A current sourcing circuit is coupled between a second input voltage and an output of the second load circuit. A charge-recycling circuit is coupled between the output of the first load circuit and the output of the second load circuit to provide current from the current sinking circuit to the output of the current sourcing circuit to reduce current through the current sourcing circuit. The charge-recycling circuit can be a charge pump.
