Abstract

A load sensing buffer circuit for providing a buffered clock signal with controlled switching current noise (di/dt) in which the input clock signal is selectively gated to provide successively generated source and sink current components as part of the buffered output signal, with the timing of such current components being dependent upon load capacitance.
