Abstract

See full text

A buffer circuit includes a first inverter circuit that inverts an input signal, a second inverter circuit that inverts the output signal of the first inverter circuit, an impedance element connected between the first inverter circuit and the second inverter circuit, a first conductivity type switching element that increases a potential of the output node of the second inverter circuit when the input signal exceeds a first threshold voltage, and a second conductivity type switching element that decreases a potential of the output node of the second inverter circuit when the input signal is lower than a second threshold voltage.
