Abstract
A high speed input buffer of the type having a first connection in electrical communication with a positive voltage source and a second connection in electrical communication with a negative voltage source. A first native transistor is functionally disposed between the positive voltage source and the first connection. A first contact of the first native transistor is electrically connected to the positive voltage source and a second contact of the first native transistor is electrically connected to the first connection. A second native transistor is functionally disposed between the negative voltage source and the second connection. A first contact of the second native transistor is electrically connected to the negative voltage source and a second contact of the second native transistor is electrically connected to the second connection.
