Abstract
A TTL gate for driving large capacitive loads with minimal current drain of the gate's power supply during the logic low output level is provided. The current drain from the power supply is minimized by a feedback means which becomes active when the logic low output level is reached. The feedback means comprises a current mirror circuit connected between the drive means and the output means of the gate. The drive means also comprises a current mirror circuit.
