Inverter input voltage bootstrap

Bootstrapping is a technique in the field of where part of the output of a system is used at startup. A bootstrap circuit is one where part of the output of an amplifier stage is applied to the input, so as to alter the input of the amplifier. When applied deliberately, the intention is usually to increase rather than decrease the impedance.
