Abstract

A bus driver circuit has floating gate circuits with three transistors. Two of the transistors for an inverter for operating the output power transistor. The third transistor is connected to receive control signals from well pull circuits. The control signal keeps the third transistor off when the bus driver circuit is not enabled.
