Abstract (en)

[origin: US4712056A] A signalling circuit which outputs reference potential at either a first or second output, dependent on an input signal. The signalling circuit operates reliably in a large range of operating voltage with an optimally low power consumption. A constant current circuit and a parallel connection of two current paths fed by constant current are provided in a circuit connected to an operating voltage source. The first and second outputs are respectively connected to reference potential via respective electronic switches controllable by the current of the respective current path. The constant current is switchable from one current path to the other and vice versa, dependent upon the input criteria.
