ABSTRACT:
A low voltage source of input edges is AC coupled to positive and negative edge differentiators. Each differentiator briefly drives ON a corresponding normally OFF switch, the pair of which switches serves as an impulse driver and that may be clamped to symmetrical opposing reference voltages. The bi-stable switch driver responds to a particular polarity impulse driver voltage by applying thereto through a load resistor a percentage of a power supply voltage of opposite polarity. The impulse driver is also coupled to a complementary pair of MOSFET switches that are in series between precise reference voltages of opposing polarities, and whose common junction may be connected to a current determining resistance. The output of the MOSFET switches may be assisted by an auxiliary bi-stable output driver that reduces the amount of load current drawn from those MOSFETS.
