A line driver (10) includes a first p-channel FET (12) and two n-channel FETs (14-16), wherein one of the n-channel FETs functions as a blocking FET (16). The p-channel FET (12) is coupled to the supply voltage (26) and the blocking FET (16), while the other n-channel FET (14) is coupled to a supply return (28) and the blocking FET (16). An output (30) is provided between the n-channel FET (14) and the blocking FET (16), while inputs (20-22) are provided to the p-channel FET (12) and the n-channel FET (16). In operation, the inputs (20-22) are supplied to the FETs at a given rate such that either the p-channel or the n-channel FET is "on". To ensure a maximum output swing when the p-channel FET is on, the blocking FET (16) is sourced by a charge pump (18).
