摘要:
57 Disclosed in a high performance current switch push-pull driver circuit. A first output of the current switch (T1, T2) is direct coupled to the push-pull driver (T5, T6) while the second output of the current switch is coupled to the push-pull driver by means of an emitter follower (T3) and current mirror (TM). Emitter followers (T3, T4) connected to the current switch (T1, T2) provide a first pair of true/ complement outputs (OUT1, OUT1) while push-pull drivers provide a second set of true/complementary outputs (OUT2, OUT2) having a higher drive capability. The current mirror (TM) is biased near its turn on potential providing current control switching of the current mode transistor and the push-pull driver transistor with which it is coupled. The circuit is greatly tolerant for varying load conditions, is protected against short circuit and power supply failures and has means for three state operation.
摘要:
It is well known that the base width of a transistor has a direct bearing on transistor speed and the punch-through voltage. A solution to the transistor speed versus break down (punch through) voltage problem is disclosed. Output transistors are serially connected between power supply rails along with associated transistor base driving circuitry. The circuit arrangement ensures that the supply voltage divides between the series connected output transistors and prevents excessive voltage from being applied to each output transistor.
