ABSTRACT:
A bidirectional source follower system includes an N channel transistor and P channel transistor which conduct in opposite ways. The n channel transistor is connected to quickly source current, however is relatively inefficient at sinking current. In contrast, the P channel transistor can sink current very quickly but is bad at source current. The two devices are connected together in a way which allows advantageous features of both.
