Abstract

A controllable impedance means and a controllable, relatively constant, current source are connected in parallel between the output line of a circuit and a first point of operating potential. Means responsive to the voltage on the output line control the conductivity of the controllable inpedance means and of the controllable current source to generate an output pulse having relatively sharp leading and trailing edges.
