    摘要: A logic circuit output stage includes a first transistor with a first terminal that receives the first logic output signal and a third terminal coupled to a first output node. A second transistor has a first terminal coupled to the first terminal of the first transistor. A third transistor has a first terminal that receives the second logic output signal and a third terminal coupled to a second output node. A fourth transistor has a first terminal coupled to a third terminal of the second transistor and a second terminal coupled to the second output node. An impedance is connected between the third terminal of the second transistor and the first output node. In this output stage, the second transistor provides a transient signal to the first terminal of the fourth transistor in response to a transition in the first logic output signal. The fourth transistor provides a temporary change in the current flowing through the second output node in response to the transient signal received from the second transistor. The temporary current change provided by the fourth transistor allows faster charging or discharging of capacitive loads on the second output node, thereby producing a faster output slew rate. Moreover, the faster output slew rate is produced without significantly increasing either the integrate circuit chip area or the power consumed by the output stage.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a family of new GaAs MESFET logic circuits including push pull output buffers, which exhibits very strong output driving capability and very low power consumption at fast switching speeds. A 3 way OR/NOR circuit of this invention includes a standard differential amplifier, the first branch of which is controlled by logic input signals. The second branch includes a current switch controlled by a reference voltage. The differential amplifier provides first and second output signals simultaneously and complementary each other. The circuit further includes two push pull output buffers. The first output buffer comprises an active pull up device connected in series with an active pull down device, and the first circuit output signal is available at their common node or at the output terminal. The active pull up device is controlled by a first output signal of the differential amplifier, and the active pull down device is preferably controlled by the second output signal through an intermediate source follower buffer. The second output buffer is of similar structure. The depicted circuit is of the dual phase type. However, if only one phase of the circuit output signal is needed, the output buffer and the intermediate buffer can be eliminated. The number of devices can be even further reduced by eliminating the other remaining intermediate buffer.

    摘要: An elementary logic circuit obtained by means of Schottky barrier field effect transistors of gallium arsenide includes a differential amplifier, whose first branch, controlled by the input signal E, supplies an output signal S.sub.1, and whose second branch, controlled by a reference signal, supplies an output signal S.sub.2. This circuit further includes two paired level translator stages, the first of which supplies output signal S and the second of which supplies a complementary signal S, the output signal S constituting the reference signal which controls the second branch of the differential amplifier. The circuit can advantageously be used in high-speed IC modules having a lower power consumption, consisting of gallium arsenide and compatible with the circuits realized according to the ECL 100 K technology on silicon.

    摘要: Quake Transistor Logic (QTL) circuits of the embodiments of the invention are low power, high-speed circuits that can be manufactured by the same process as the lower-speed complex circuits, and are thus capable of being integrated on the same device. A number of techniques are employed to give QTL circuits their unique advantages. Lower power without loss of speed is achieved through the use of a self-biasing clock buffer to eliminate the need for tail current sources in the logic; differential signals are employed throughout to improve noise immunity with a low logic signal swing; an optional tuning circuit provides extension of the frequency response to achieve an even higher clock frequency and logic circuit bandwidth.

    摘要: An ECL transistor pair is connected in parallel with a third transistor. A complementary signal is applied to the transistor pair. A high level of a signal that is applied to the third transistor is effectively higher than a high level of the input to the pair of transistors; and a low level of the signal applied to the third transistor is effectively lower than the high level of the input to the pair of transistors. The low level input to the third transistor enables the ECL circuit to output the complementary input signal and assures high speed ECL operation. The high level of the input to the third transistor disables the ECL circuit from outputting the complementary input signal.

    摘要: A differential amplifier circuit for regenerating complementary analog signals of low amplitude includes a differential pair of field effect transistors whose common sources are connected to a first supply voltage V.sub.SS via a load, a pair of loads which are connected to the drain of each transistor of the differential pair and to a second supply voltage, respectively, and a level regenerating circuit having a pair of diodes for deriving the signals from the drain of each transistor of the differential pair. The signals transported by the diodes are applied to the lower transistor of a pair of push-pull stages whose upper transistor directly receives the signal derived from the drain of the other transistor of the differential pair, while the source of the lower transistors of the push-pull stages is connected to ground and the drain of the upper transistor of these stages is connected to the second supply voltage V.sub.DD, the complementary amplified output signals being available at the central points of the push-pull stages.
