Digital circuit using MESFETS

摘要

Two MESFETS with the drain of one connected to the source of the other are driven in complementary fashion by a single inverter using a third MESFET and a voltage level shifter, in response to digital signals input to the inverter. Means for selectively disconnecting the power supply from the inverter to place the circuit in a low power, standby mode is provided. Depletion and enhancement mode MESFET configurations of the circuit are disclosed.
