Abstract:
Output buffer in which the switching speed of the transistors (4,5) of the output stage (1) is kept constant, independently of the variations of the supply voltage (Vcc) and of the temperature, within the acceptable operating range for the device, by controlling, as a function of the supply voltage and the operating temperature detected by a correction circuit (14), the conductivity of additional transistors (13,15) in series with the transistors (7,8) of the predriving stage (2) which drive the transistors of the output stage in conduction, the transistors being driven by an analog signal (CNTRN, CNTRP) which is generated by the correction circuit (14) and is variable with the supply voltage and the operating temperature.
