The circuits I was thinking of were bipolar motor drivers. Not
the same as TTL outputs.

I have absolutely no idea what you mean by that. If you mean the
switch points at the gate inputs,  for any logic type they must
be at voltages between the two rails.

... Why does "slow down" and "slow up" mean the same thing?
