Abstract

A driver circuit which provides an output voltage which is slew rate limited substantially independent of the value of any load which may be coupled thereto is provided. A pair of transistors of opposite conductivity type operate in push-pull fashion to drive the output voltage in response to a control signal. Capacitors are utilized to perform slew rate limiting. Additionally, each of the transistors is selectively dynamically biased to insure a substantially linear slew rate.
