An input buffer includes an input circuit (80), a pair of complimentary outputs (52,54) and a differential ampliifer (12). The input buffer includes a pull-down diode (90) arranged in parallel with pull-up diodes (84, 86, and 88), coupled between the buffer input (82) and the differential amplifier input (32). Pull-up is achieved through the low impedance path of the pull-up diodes, eliminating a need for a high value resistor. Pull-down is achieved through the pull-down diode in series with a resistor (92). This arrangement provides high speed of operation, while reducing current consumption.
