ABSTRACT:
A drive circuit which includes a plurality of load MOS transistors coupled in series between a positive power source terminal and a node point, a plurality of drive MOS transistors coupled in parallel between a ground terminal and the node point, a static type bootstrap buffer circuit connected at the input terminal to the node point, and a gate control circuit for controlling the conduction states of the load and drive MOS transistors. The gate control circuit renders the load MOS transistors conductive, and then renders the drive MOS transistors nonconductive after the load MOS transistors are rendered fully conductive.
