ABSTRACT:
A circuit for driving an output between two voltage states in response to a control signal is disclosed. The circuit requires a very small amount of power in its quiescent state. The circuit comprises a first switch including first and second control terminals that provides a conductive path from a first source of potential to an output terminal when the potential difference between the control terminals is less than a first predetermined threshold value and for electrically isolating the first source of potential from the output terminal when the potential difference between the control terminals is greater than the first predetermined threshold value, and a second switch that provides a conductive path between a second source of potential and the output terminal when the first switch electrically isolates the first source of potential from the output terminal. The second switch electrically isolates the output terminal from the second source of potential when the first switch provides a conductive path from the first source of potential to the output terminal. The circuit also includes a control circuit for causing the potential difference between the first and second control terminals of the first switch to be greater than the first threshold value in response to a predetermined signal on the circuit input terminal and causes the potential difference between the first and second control terminals of the first switch to be less than the first threshold value when the predetermined signal is not present on the circuit input terminal.
