1. An integrated circuit device, the device comprising:

  • an output stage having a device output and a plurality of output transistors in a stacked configuration; and

    a signal distributor configured to receive an input signal at an input, generate a plurality of intermediate driver signals based on the input signal, and couple the intermediate driver signals to the output stage such that each output transistor contributes a portion of an output signal and a total output voltage swing exceeds a breakdown voltage of any one of the plurality of output transistors.
