Abstract
A level discriminating buffer, including a input stage, a latching stage, and a switching accelerator, having an improved response time. The input stage discriminates between logic states of the input signal. The latch stage acts as a logic state latch and further provides transistors in the current paths of the input and latch stages that are non-conducting during each static state of the input signal. The switching accelerator is responsive to the input stage for generating a short period signal to accelerate the logic state switching of the latch stage and thereby improve the response of the output signal to a change in an input signal logic state change.
