ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides BICMOS level shifter having pull-up and/or pull-down transistors at pull-up and/or pull-down portions, which perform a switching operation in response to a reference signal of a stable voltage level, and a BICMOS data output buffer employing the BICMOS level shifters as respective pull-up and pull-down control circuits. Thereby, it is possible to attain low power consumption, high drive capability and high speed operation by bipolar transistors and is also possible to cope with unstable signals.
