Abstract
A TTL to CMOS input buffer accomplishes buffering a TTL signal to a CMOS signal without static current flow when the TTL is a logic '1' by isolating the input from an input P channel transistor and using feedback from an input N channel transistor to turn off the P channel transistor. A second P channel transistor is used to couple a positive power supply voltage to the input P channel transistor in response to an output from the N channel transistor.
