摘要:
An output circuit capable of limiting an output current from a BiMOS semiconductor integrated circuit without adversely affecting an operational speed includes a plurality of bipolar transistors connected to form a Darlington circuit and at least one field effect transistor which can be either a P-channel or an N-channel transistor. The circuit is capable of removing rise current limitations of the bipolar transistors in the Darlington circuit during a normal operation by using a single MOS transistor to provide a branch circuit for the Darlington circuit, which limits the output current of the circuit under the specific condition that it provides a high level output and its output terminal is short-circuited to the ground.

It is purposed to ensure both high speed operation and low power consumption in an output section of a Bi-CMOS type TTL logic circuit. For this purpose, impedances of a base driving part (a series circuit of a MOS transistor 9 and a resistor 11) and a collector driving part A (a resistor 12) of a bipolar transistor 1 are brought into low impedances only when the bipolar transistor 1 is changed from an off-to on-state thereof. To achieve the just-mentioned operation, potential on an output 30 is detected by an inverter 16 and on the basis of an output from the inverter 16 both MOS transistors 17, 19 are on-controlled to substantially short-circuit the resistors 11, 12. When the transistor 1 stays at its on-state, both transistors 17, 19 have been switched off, so that base and collector currents of the transistor 1 have been conducted through the resistors 11, 12 to permit the resistors 11, 12 to be greater. Thus, low power consumption is attained.

A source of the transistor is connected to the other of the positive voltage line and the negative voltage line, and the drain of the transistor is connected to an input of the second circuit. This transistor has its threshold voltage whose absolute value is larger than an absolute value of a voltage difference between the ground line and the other of the positive voltage line and the negative voltage line.
