  • Push-pull output stage of integrated circuit providing enhanced high-low voltage level signal transition with ground bounce control
    Patent number: 5036232
    Abstract: A push-pull output stage of an integrated circuit for generating a pulse-like output signal in dependence upon a pulse-like input signal. The push-pull output stage includes complementary output field-effect transistors which are formed by respective first and second groups of parallel-connected subtransistors (P1 to P4; N1 to N4), the subtransistors in each group being of the same conductivity type and opposite from that of the subtransistors in the other group. A resistance element (TP0 to TP3; TN0 to TN3) is connected into the lead to each gate electrode of each of the subtransistors (P1 to P4; N1 to N4) of the two groups of subtransistors. A disconnecting field-effect transistor (PD1 to PD4; ND1 to ND4) is associated with each subtransistor (P1 to P4; N1 to N4) of the two groups of subtransistors.
