Abstract

An embodiment of an integrated circuit comprises a plurality of cells. Each cell comprises a first supply node, a second supply node, a series connection with a first transistor, a second transistor and an electrical element. The series connection is coupled between the first and the second supply node. The electrical element includes a first and a second node. A third transistor is coupled between the first node of the electrical element and a first output node of the cell and a fourth transistor is coupled between the second node of the electrical element and the second output node of the cell. A control terminal of the first, the third and the fourth transistor is coupled to a first control node of the cell and a control terminal of the second transistor is coupled to a second control node of the cell.
