Abstract
The control power input of a power stage designed in the form of a CMOS inverter can be considerably reduced according to the invention in that, with the aid of a driver stage splitting the digital input signal, each of the two gate electrodes of the two field-effect transistors of the power stage, are simultaneously but separately controlled by each time one driver signal of the same polarity, thus each time raising the source-gate voltage of one of the two field-effect transistors above its threshold voltage value.
