Abstract: A field-effect transistor serial inverter circuit is disclosed. Capacitive coupling is provided between the control electrode of a first inverter and the control electrode of a load transistor in a serially connected second inverter. The capacitor thereby couples the input to the load transistor of the second inverter, significantly reducing the transition delay time associated with the two series inverters, and also increasing the voltage level available at the output of the second inverter to substantially the same level as the supply voltage.
