Abstract
An integrated circuit comprising logic circuits and at least one push-pull stage. In order to reduce the magnitude of induction voltages on power supply lines of the circuit, caused by the current variations in the push-pull stage comprising a push transistor and a pull transistor, a first current through one transistor is kept substantially constant until after a most significant rise of a second current through the other transistor when the push-pull stage is switched. A push-pull stage produces lower induction voltages during switching can thus be realized without adversely affecting the switching speed.
