  • Patent number: 6154061
    Abstract: Bus driver having a P-channel output transistor (T1) for driving a first bus terminal (6) from a positive supply terminal (2), an N-channel output transistor (T2) for driving a second bus terminal (12) from a negative supply terminal (4), a P-channel driver transistor (T3) and an N-channel driver transistor (T4) series connected between the positive (2) and the negative (4) supply terminal. The control electrodes of the P-channel transistors (T1, T3) are interconnected and the control electrodes of the N-channel transistors (T2, T4) are interconnected to obtain a fixed relationship between the currents through the P-channel transistors (T1, T3) and through the N-channel transistors (T2, T4). The conduction of the driver transistors (T3, T4) is controlled by two floating control voltage sources (22, 24) which are connected between the interconnection node (20) of the driver transistors (T3, T4) and the respective control electrodes of the driver transistors.
