Abstract

A circuit for a high speed digital buffer has an active load circuit connected to an output of the digital buffer. The active load circuit loads the buffer output with an active inductance to reduce the RC time constant at the buffer output. The active load circuit may be based on two active devices connected to the buffer output so as to form a differential cascode circuit.
