发明名称 EMITTER FOLLOWER BUFFER WITH REVERSE-BIAS PROTECTION
摘要 The invention relates to a buffer circuit for a receiver device including a transconductance stage and an output stage coupled in parallel to output stages of other channels of the device. The output of the transconductance stage is connected to a base of a bipolar transistor in the output stage. A switch is connected between the base of the bipolar transistor and the emitter of the bipolar transistor. A controller is arranged to switch the buffer circuit from a switch-off mode to a switch-on mode and back. In switch-off mode the switch is switched on, so as to connect the base and the emitter of the bipolar transistor.
