ABSTRACT:
The output buffer stage includes a half-bridge output stage having a first pair of complementary drivers connected in series between a supply line and a ground node, the high impedance state or conduction state of which is determined through a pair of control phases. The buffer stage includes a pair of switches controlled by the control phases, connected in series between them and connecting the transistors of the first stage in series. Each driver is connected in series with a switch, that is quickly opened to prevent under-threshold currents from circulating when the respective driver is turned off, and that is rapidly turned off when the respective driver is turned on.
