Abstract

A bidirectional asynchronous open collector buffer. The buffer employs set delays and control logic to prevent latch up of the buffer when the low signal is applied to one of the ports of the buffer. Additionally, the buffer employs reset delays in conjunction with the control logic for suppressing oscillation of the buffer when one of the ports of the buffer is released from the applied low signal.
