Abstract :
In this paper two robust bus drivers combining low-swing and semi-adiabatic charge recycling technique are presented. The drivers use a novel concept with Schmitt-triggers as voltage sensors. Hence, voltage references are not required. The drivers reduces the power consumption by 55 and 72 percent, respectively
