  • Node predisposition circuit
    Patent number: 6559678
    Abstract: A node predisposition circuit for driving an output node of an output buffer circuit is provided which is formed of a delay circuit, a pre-charge pull-up circuit, and a pre-charge pull-down circuit. The pre-charge pull-up and pull-down circuits are used for pre-charging the output node to approximately one-half of the power supply voltage with a single phase system. The predisposition circuit has significantly reduced supply bounce and ground bounce, but yet maintains a high speed of operation with minimal static current.
