Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A circuit and method for enabling/disabling a differential signal output from a memory device such, as a bipolar static random access memory is disclosed. A split bias, current steering circuit includes a first differential amplifier for steering a current ID along a first current path when a first selected differential input signal, corresponding to a first logic state is, coupled to a first input terminal of said first differential amplifier; and includes a second differential amplifier for steering current ID along a second current path when a second selected differential input signal corresponding to a second logic state, is coupled to a second input terminal of said second differential …
