Abstract
A BIMOS circuit is provided wherein an output terminal is coupled between upper and lower NPN push-pull transistors for providing high current drive capability along with no d.c. power dissipation. A first MOS transistor circuit is coupled between an input terminal and the lower transistor for biasing the lower transistor. A second MOS transistor circuit is coupled between the input terminal and the upper transistor for biasing the upper transistor. A third circuit is coupled between the input terminal and the lower transistor and is responsive to the output terminal for biasing the lower transistor.
