Abstract

See full text

An input buffer includes an amplifier circuit configured to amplify an input signal and output an amplified signal to a first output node. The input signal is amplified according to a first bias voltage set, at a bias node, to a first level based on a power supply voltage and a reference voltage. The input buffer includes an output circuit configured to receive and buffer the amplified signal and output an output signal to a second output node. The input buffer includes a dynamic bias voltage generator configured to change the first bias voltage to a second level in response to a transition of the output signal.
