High current static MOS driver circuit with low DC power dissipation

摘要

A static push-pull driver circuit employs an enhancement mode input transistor and two parallel load transistors, with an input logic voltage on the gate of the input transistor and its complement on the gates of the load transistors. One load transistor is a depletion mode and the other a "low-threshold" device; the threshold voltage of the low-threshold transistor is much less than that of the enhancement mode input transistor.
