ABSTRACT:
BICMOS driver circuit for high density CMOS logic circuits. The BICMOS logic circuit generates a voltage swing comparable to the CMOS logic circuit voltage swing with improved delay and noise immunity characteristics. A pair of complementary bipolar transistors are connected to a CMOS logic network. The transistors have serially connected collectors forming an output node and emitters connected to opposite terminals of a bipolar voltage source. Two FET transistors are connected between the base of each bipolar transistor and a CMOS operating voltage source. The CMOS logic network will switch one or the other bipolar transistor on while the other bipolar transistor is held off by its connected FET transistor.
