ABSTRACT:
A pull-down circuit for a TTL compatible data output buffer uses NMOS devices. The pull-down circuit comprising two NMOS stages. Namely, a diode configuration stage where the gate and drain electrodes are shorted together during pull-down and a common-source stage. Both PMOS and NMOS devices are used for shorting the gate and drain electrodes.
