US Patent 7924087 Reference buffer circuit

A reference buffer circuit with high driving capability is disclosed. In which, a buffering stage has a first NMOS transistor and a first PMOS transistor to provide high and low tracking voltages respectively based on a high input voltage and a low input voltage. A first driving stage is driven by the high and low tracking voltages to output a first high output voltage and a first low output voltage. A body of the first PMOS transistor is tied to a first bias voltage lower than a supply voltage for the buffering and first driving stages.
