Abstract
A buffer circuit comprising a current source transistor, a switching transistor and a current sink transistor coupled in series is provided. Control electrodes of the switching transistor and current sink transistor are directly connected and coupled to an input voltage. The buffer circuit has an accurate switchpoint voltage which is substantially process and temperature independent, and the circuit does not consume power for input voltages having low and high CMOS levels.
