Abstract :
This paper presents a high-voltage output stage producing signals well beyond the voltage ratings of standard devices in a nanometer-scale CMOS technology. The driver is a two-level, switched capacitor output stage that combines both voltage conversion and pulse drive. The design is highly modular and enables extended device-stacking seamlessly and with little overhead. The driver achieves a peak power efficiency of 64%, a minimum drive resistance of 3.7KΩ and occupies an area of 0.06mm2.
