    摘要: In an ECL circuit, when a potential of an input signal A changes from "L" to "H", an output signal D correspondingly changes from "H" to "L", and, at this time, an output sent from a switching stage circuit is supplied to a gate of a PMOS transistor via a control capacitor. Thereby, a base current of a pull-down transistor flows, and change of a potential of an output terminal node is promoted. An NMOS transistor receiving the potential of the output terminal node is arranged between a node and a VEE supply terminal. Therefore, when the potential changes, the current flowing through a transistor decreases, and the base current of the pull-down transistor further increases, so that the change of the output signal D is further promoted.

    摘要: The logic of an intermediate signal (Y.sub.1) goes high when an input signal (CI) makes an "L" to "H" transition, and then a transistor (Q.sub.1) turns on and a transistor (Q.sub.2) turns off. The input signal (CI) at a potential corresponding to the logic "H" at a CMOS level has been applied to the gate of an NMOS transisitor (N.sub.1), and the NMOS transistor (N.sub.1) turns on rapidly. At this time, only current flowing through the base of an output transistor (Q.sub.0) flows through parallel connection of a resistor (R.sub.2) and an on-resistance of the NMOS transistor (N.sub.1). Since the NMOS transistor (N.sub.1) is on, the base potential of the output transistor (Q.sub.0) is raised if the resistor (R.sub.2) has a high resistance, and current fed from the output transistor (Q.sub.0) increases, thereby raising the emitter potential of the output transistor (Q.sub.0). Then the logic of an output signal (EO) goes high. Power consumption of an output buffer circuit is reduced.

    摘要: A signal applied through a signal input terminal is logically processed by a logic circuit such as a CMOS inverter and the processed signal is supplied from the signal output terminal. A pinch resistor has a resistance value controlled in accordance with a variation of a voltage at the signal output terminal. Specifically, the pinch resistor has a higher resistance value at an initial stage in the switching operation in which an output from the logic circuit lowers from a logical high level to a logical low level, and supplies a large base current to a bipolar transistor. At a later stage in the switching operation, the pinch resistor has a small resistance value, so that a residual charge in the signal output terminal and a base charge in the bipolar transistor are rapidly emitted through the pinch resistor. Thus, the resistance value of the pinch resistor is always maintained at an optimum value, which increases a speed of the switching operation of the logic circuit.

    摘要: First and second capacitor circuits responsive to a potential applied to an input node for instantaneously supplying a voltage derived by capacitance division to control electrodes of first and second output MOS transistors which drive an output node. When the output node reaches a predetermined potential level, the control electrode node of the first output transistor or the control electrode node of the second output transistor is driven to ground potential or power supply potential by the MOS transistor responding to a delay signal of an input signal. A smaller buffer circuit which has improved output response and reduced through current is described. The output signal transitioning speed can also be easily altered.
