    摘要: A method of increasing a current flowing through an inductor includes receiving an input signal with a driver stage, the driver stage including the inductor coupled in series with a loading between an output node of the driver stage and a power line. In response to a transition in the input signal from a first voltage state to a second voltage state, a first current flowing through the loading and the inductor is increased. During the transition in the input signal, the current flowing through the inductor is increased by increasing a second current in a circuitry though a node between the inductor and the loading.
