ABSTRACT:
In an output buffer circuit so configured that a capacitor connected to a gate of an output driving MOS transistor and including a gate capacitance of the output driving MOS transistor is gradually charged through a resistor, so as to realize a slow rising or falling time, there is additionally provided a threshold voltage charging circuit for rapidly charging the capacitor to a threshold voltage level of the output driving MOS transistor when the output driving MOS transistor is to be turned on. With this arrangement, the propagation delay time of an output voltage can be minimized.
