Abstract
Abstract An improved high speed switching circuit having at least an emitter grounded switching transistor, a first resistor connected between the base of said transistor and an input terminal, a second resistor connected between said base and the ground, a plurality of series connected diodes connected between the input terminal and the collector of said transistor has been disclosed. The ratio of the resistance of the first resistor to that of the second resistor is determined in accordance with the number of said series connected diodes.
