A low voltage positive emitter coupled logic (LV-PECL) buffer fabricated in the complimentary oxide metal silicon (CMOS) process. The LV-PECL buffer in CMOS is operable for a wide frequency range from DC to frequencies as high as 800 MHZ in 0.5 um process. Synchronized feedforward logic is utilized without the need for a feedback loop. N-MOSFET's, which are faster than P-MOSFET's, are used for the implementation of switched current sources. The switched current sources deliver a pull-up current variable in time and as a result have more than two values. The pull-up current is sharply increased in value during the output waveform transition times in an impulse manner.
