ABSTRACT:
A camera status display device containing an integrated circuit. When a digital signal voltage applied to the integrated circuit exceeds a predetermined voltage, the integrated circuit consumes additional current by passing it through a resistance. This prevents the excess current from flowing to an external circuit. The consuming circuit includes a pair of inverters for each digital signal input. In one embodiment, a resistor is connected to the common point of the pair of inverters. In a second embodiment, an AND gate is connected to each of the common points and a resistance is connected to the output of the AND gate.
