Abstract

A data output stage of the buffer type for CMOS logic circuits, being of the type having at least one pair of MOS transistors associated to drive an output node of said stage, comprises first and second feedback loops which are structurally independent and respectively connected between said node and a corresponding gate electrode of each transistor to precharge said output node at a predetermined value and reduce the noise to ground during the switching phase.
