Abstract:
A digital circuit, comprising:a switching element having a control terminal; an input for receiving an input signal and connected to said switching element, said input supplying the input signal to said switching element; an activation input receiving an activation signal for setting an activated state and a deactivated state; two output points including a first output point and a second output point; a logic unit having inputs connected to said two output points and an output connected to said control terminal of said switching element, said logic unit switching said switching element to a conducting state if there is a first logic level at said two output points, said logic unit switching said switching element to a non-conducting state if there is a second logic level at one of said two output points; and a circuit unit connected to said activation input, said switching element, and said inputs of said logic unit; in the activated state, said first output point outputs in a non-inverted form a level of the input signal which the input signal has directly before the setting of said switching element to the non-conducting state, in the activated state, said second output point outputs in an inverted form the level of the input signal which the input signal has directly before the setting of said switching element to the non-conducting state, and in the deactivated state, the first logic level is output at both of said two output points.
