Abstract
An input buffer circuit for a memory uses two transistors interposed between a push-pull pair of transistors to control the enabling of the buffer in response to a chip write signal generated from a logical combination of chip select and write enable signals. A plurality of inverters which provide complementary signals to the push-pull transistors are disabled and prevented from using current by an interrupt transistor until the interrupt transistor receives the chip write signal.
