  • Shift register circuit with multiple, tapped outputs having pull-down transistors
    Patent number: 4538288
    Abstract: A signal translating circuit is disclosed in which an input signal is supplied to a source follower transistor, a bootstrap capacitive component is presented between the gate and source of the source follower transistor, the signal from the source follower transistor is supplied through a first transmission gate to a next stage, and also led out to an output terminal. Further, the circuit formed of the source follower transistor and the first transmission gate is sequentially connected and the source follower transistor and the first transmission gate are alternately driven with different phases to each other whereby the input signal is sequentially transmitted at each stage.
