ABSTRACT:
A pair of bipolar transistors are connected in totem-pole fashion to provide an emitter-collector output connection. A pair of complementary MOS field-effect transistors are connected in push-pull fashion for each receiving a common input signal on a gate thereof and for driving a base of a corresponding one of the bipolar transistors. Resistors are connected to the field-effect transistors for isolating the output connection and substantially eliminating crowbar current.
