A symmetrical loading and current supply arrangement is described for a differential-type logic means, and symmetrical voltage swings are thereby achieved in the logic output. In a preferred arrangement the output voltages are self-aligned to a CMOS level which facilitate conversion of the differential-type output to CMOS signals.
