Claim One:
1. An apparatus for conveying a communication signal from a first component to a second component; the apparatus comprising: (a) a switching circuit coupled with said first component; said switching circuit receiving said communication signal from said first component; said switching circuit responding to said communication signal to generate an interim signal; said interim signal being representative of said communication signal; and (b) a follower circuit coupled at an input locus with said switching circuit and coupled at an output locus with said second component; said follower circuit receiving said interim signal at said input locus; said follower circuit generating an output signal at said output locus; said output signal substantially duplicating said communication signal; said follower circuit including a plurality of follower transistors for effecting said duplicating; each respective follower transistor of said plurality of follower transistors having a respective current source controlling current through said respective follower transistor.
