Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods are provided for generating a high, dynamic voltage boost. An integrated circuit (IC) includes a driving circuit having a first stage and a second stage. The driving circuit is configured to provide an overdrive voltage. The IC also includes a charge pump circuit coupled between the first stage and the second stage. The charge pump circuit is configured generate a dynamic voltage greater than the overdrive voltage. The IC also includes a bootstrap circuit coupled to the charge pump circuit, configured to further dynamically boost the overdrive voltage of the driving circuit.
