Patent ID: 7378876

Claim:
A complementary output driver consisting of: a driver input that receives an input signal which alternates between a first state and a second state; a first inverter having an first input and a first output, the first input being coupled to the driver input and the first output generating a complementary output signal that is the complement of a present state of the input signal; a second inverter having a second input and a second output, the second input being coupled to the first output of the first inverter and the second output generating an output signal that is the complement of the present state of the first output; and a push-pull network having a push-pull input and a push-pull output, the push-pull input being coupled to the driver input and the push-pull output being coupled to the second output, the complimentary output driver being configured so that (i) the non-complementary output transitions from the first state to the second state over generally the same period of time the complementary output transitions from the second state to the first state and (ii) the non-complementary output transitions from the second state to the first state over generally the same period of time the complementary output transitions from the first state to the second state.
