The present invention is a method and circuitry for driving a high-threshold MOS device on low input voltages. The invention includes a circuit that operates on a supply voltage that is less than the threshold voltage of the high-threshold MOS device. The circuit includes one or more low threshold MOS inverters and one or more capacitors that operate at low input voltages. The one or more low threshold MOS inverters operate in a manner that the one or more capacitors get charged to a voltage greater than the low input voltage. Thereafter, the charged capacitor drives the high threshold MOS device.
