Abstract

See full text

A complimentary output pair (10) having a P-channel transistor (12) and an N-channel transistor (14) prevents output voltage spikes due to rapid changes in current with respect to time at the V.sub.cc power supply and ground (32) nodes by using a 'graded turn-on.' Both the P-channel transistor (12) and the N-channel (14) utilize a serpentine polysilicon gate (16), (24), in order to sequentially turn on the sub-transistors in response to a changing input. Pull-up (36) and pull-down (40) transistors are used to turn the sub-transistors (21a-j, 29a-f) off simultaneously.
