Charge transfer between gate terminals of subthreshold current reduction circuit transistors and related apparatuses and methods

Abstract:

Charge transfer between gate terminals of sub-threshold current reduction circuit (SCRC) transistors and related apparatuses and methods is disclosed. An apparatus includes a pull-up SCRC transistor, a pull-down SCRC transistor, and a charge transfer circuit. The pull-up SCRC transistor includes a pull-up gate terminal. The pull-down SCRC transistor includes a pull-down gate terminal. The charge transfer circuit is electrically connected between the pull-up gate terminal and the pull-down gate terminal. The charge transfer circuit is configured to transfer charge between the pull-up gate terminal and the pull-down gate terminal.
