Abstract
An integrated circuit which uses an unusual comparator design, which is not fully complementary but which has an extended common mode range, to control switching of one pole of the output driver (e.g. the lower pole) between an internal voltage (e.g. ground voltage) and a current extracted from an incoming signal.
