ABSTRACT:
An output stage for integrated circuits, particularly for electronic memories, including: an input section that is adapted to acquire an input datum; a latch circuit having a first output and a second output and connected to the input section; a first inverter connected to the second output; a second inverter connected to the first output; a third inverter connected to the output of the second inverter; a grounding transistor driven by the second output of the latch circuit and adapted to connect the output of the third inverter to the ground; and a push-pull stage driven by the output of the first and third inverters. The output stage according to the present invention furthermore includes: a shorting transistor adapted to connect the output of the first inverter to the output of the second inverter; a first enabling transistor interposed between the first inverter and the first output of the latch circuit; a second enabling transistor interposed between the second inverter and the second output of the latch circuit; and a section for charging and discharging the push-pull stage, which is adapted to rapidly discharge the gate of the first transistor of the push-pull stage and to charge the gate of the second transistor of the push-pull stage during their operation.
