Abstract

An integrated circuit is described which includes a plurality of output transistors (T1, T2, . . . Tn) for emitting binary signals to associated output terminals (A1, A2, . . . An). The integrated circuit further includes at least one ground terminal (M; M1, M2 . . . Mn). Between the base of each transistor (T1, T2, . . . Tn) and the at least one ground terminal (M; M1, M2, . . . Mn) a current source (R1, D1) controlled by the base voltage is inserted.
