ABSTRACT:
An improved GaAs switching device is disclosed, of the type having a switched clamp which shunts pull-up current except during a portion of a "0" to "1" transistion at the device's output. The device herein provided enhanced immunity to interconnect resistance by isolating the gate-to-source Schottky diode of the clamp's FET from the device's output node. In accordance with the invention, the gate-to-source current through the clamp's FET is limited by an impedance device in the FET's gate circuit to provide the isolation.
