Abstract

Es wird eine Klemmschaltung beschrieben, mit der verhindert wird, daß ein an einem Eingangspfad (Vp) anliegendes Eingangssignal negatives Potential annehmen kann. Die Schaltung zeichnet sich durch eine hohe Spannungsfestigkeit bei genauer Einhaltung der Klemmspannung und gleichzeitig eine geringe Stromaufnahme im Normalbetrieb aus. Die Klemmschaltung umfaßt kreuzgekoppelte erste und zweite Transistoren (T1, T2) und ist von einem Normalbetrieb in einen Klemmbetrieb umschaltbar, wenn die Spannung des Eingangssignals unter eine vorbestimmte Klemmspannung, vorzugsweise 0V, abfällt. Hierzu ist ein dritter Transistor (M3) vorgesehen, der so in den Eingangspfad (Vp) geschaltet ist, daß er sich in dem Klemmbetrieb der Schaltung in rückwärts leitendem Zustand und in dem Normalbetrieb in vorwärts gesperrtem Zustand befindet.
