  • Patent number: 5367206
    Abstract: An output buffer circuit is disclosed that operates in low voltage applications but can be programmed using standard programmers at high voltage. The output buffer circuit provides for detecting a program verify logic signal from the programmer and slowing the output driver transistors when that signal is detected. In so doing, the noise problems associated with the higher voltages of programming a EPROM device are eliminated while at the same time allowing the output buffer circuit to operate at the required performance levels during normal operation.
