ABSTRACT:
The conduction paths of two output complementary transistors are connected in series between first and second points of potential with the junction of the two transistors being connected to an output terminal. A control circuit responsive to control and data signals is connected to the two output transistors. In response to one condition of the control signal, the two output transistors are turned off by having connected between the control electrode (gate) and one end of the conduction path (source) of each one of them the conduction path of a different control transistor operated in a common switching (source) mode. In response to another condition of the control signal, the same logic signal is applied to the control electrodes of the two output transistors for turning one of them on by means of at least one of the control transistors operating in the common switching mode, to produce an output indicative of the data signal.
