Abstract
An apparatus comprising a Darlington transistor pair and a common-base transistor. The Darlington transistor pair may be configured to generate an output signal at an output node in response to an input signal received through an input node. The common-base transistor may be coupled between an output transistor of the Darlington transistor pair and the output node. The common-base transistor may have a base configured to receive a reference voltage.
