  • Patent number: 4425516
    Abstract: A monolithic integrated circuit structure consisting of interconnected bipolar and CMOS transistor elements forming a buffer circuit. A pair of NPN bipolar transistor elements are interconnected with a pair of N-type MOS transistor elements to form a push-pull output stage providing complementary outputs at the emitters of the bipolar transistor elements. Each of the pair of NPN bipolar transistor elements is arranged in an emitter follower circuit configuration having the conducting channel of one of the pair of N-type MOS transistor elements serially connected to its emitter. The gate electrode of each of the pair of MOS transistor elements respectively is connected to the emitter of the bipolar transistor element to which the conducting channel of the other of the pair of MOS transistor elements is connected. P-type and N-type MOS transistor elements are serially interconnected in a complementary symmetry manner to form an inverter circuit configuration.
