  • Temperature and process stable MOS input buffer
    Patent number: 4584492
    Abstract: A MOS integrated circuit buffer which operates over a wide temperature range particularly suited for receiving a TTL signal over the range of -55 degrees C. to 155 degrees C. even with expected process variations. A compensated reference potential is developed in a feedback circuit. This reference potential is used to provide compensation to a buffer section which has substantially identical characteristics to the feedback circuit. The trigger point of the buffer section is thus maintained at the reference potential.
