Abstract
The invention features an output driver device for an integrated circuit that includes an output device having an output terminal for an output signal to be output from the output driver device, an input terminal for an input signal to be input into the output driver device, and a control device that is signal-connected to the output device and the input terminal and is designed to transform the input signal into two mutually different control signals and to output the control signals via control signal outputs to the output device, where the output device configured to generate the output signal in a manner dependent on the control signals.
Claims9
An output driver device for an integrated circuit, the output driver device comprising:
- an output device having an output terminal for an output signal to be output from the output driver device;
- an input terminal for an input signal to be input into the output driver device;
- and
- a control device having
- a NOR gate,
- a NAND gate,
- gate outputs electrically connected to control signal outputs, and
- two inverters, the two inverters having
- inverter outputs electrically connected to a gate input of the NOR gate and of the NAND gate, and
- inverter inputs electrically connected to the input terminal,
- the control device being signal-connected to the output device and the input terminal and configured to transform the input signal into two mutually different control signals and to output the control signals via control signal outputs to the output device,
- wherein the output device is configured to generate the output signal in a manner dependent on the control signals.
