  • Patent number: 4716311
    Abstract: An integrated logic circuit comprises a direct coupled FET logic input stage and a super buffer logic output stage. The input stage comprises a depletion-mode FET having its drain connected to a first reference potential level and having its gate and source connected together, and a first enhancement mode FET structure having its drain connected to the source of the depletion-mode FET, its source connected to a second, lower reference potential level and having at least one gate connected to receive an input logical signal. The super buffer logic output stage comprises a second enhancement mode FET structure that is essentially identical to the first enhancement mode FET structure, the source of the second enhancement mode FET structure being connected to the second reference potential level and the gate of the second enhancement mode FET structure being connected to the gate of the first enhancement mode FET structure.
