Abstract
A technique includes, in response to a first signal transitioning to a first logic state and first drive circuit being deactivated, activating a second drive circuit to provide a second signal. In response to the second drive circuit being deactivated and the first signal transitioning to a second logic state that is different from the first logic state, the first drive circuit is activated to provide the second signal.
Claims17
An apparatus comprising:
- a first drive circuit to provide a first signal in response to being activated;
- a second drive circuit to provide the first signal in response to being activated;
- a first hysteresis circuit to respond to a second signal transitioning to a first logic state and the first drive circuit being deactivated to activate the second drive circuit;
- and
- a second hysteresis circuit to respond to the second signal transitioning to a second logic state and the second drive circuit being deactivated to activate the first drive circuit.

An apparatus comprising:
- a NMOS transistor to provide a first signal in response to being activated;
- a PMOS transistor to provide the first signal in response to being activated;
- a first hysteresis circuit to respond to a second signal transitioning to a first logic state and the NMOS transistor being deactivated to activate the PMOS transistor;
- and
- a second hysteresis circuit to respond to the second signal transitioning to a second logic state and the PMOS transistor being deactivated to activate the NMOS transistor.
