ABSTRACT:
The buffer circuit of the invention converts TTL level input signals to CMOS level output signals. The buffer circuit has three inverter stages, in which the output signal of one stage is positively fed back, in order to achieve complete modulation. Because of a current limiting circuit, the current consumption of the buffer circuit does not exceed a defined value. Despite a high switching speed, the power consumption of the circuit is low.
