Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A low power, noise rejecting TTL-to-CMOS input buffer, without the use of a current consuming voltage reference, has the, characteristic of recognizing a logic LOW as less than 0.8 volts and a logic HIGH as greater than 2.0 volts for DC TTL signals while drawing only leakage current from its Vcc power supply and simultaneously possesses the characteristic of rejecting high-amplitude Vin noise. For an input signal rapidly rising from zero to three volts, the buffer output switches at an input signal level of approximately 2.5 volts; and for the input signal rapidly falling from 3 to zero volts, the buffer output switches at an input signal level of approximately 1.4 volts.

Why it's free to use
- Filed February 12, 1993 and granted December 31, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended February 12, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by February 12, 2015.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
