ABSTRACT:
An output buffer circuit includes an input terminal for inputting an externally supplied signal voltage into the output buffer circuit, a first transistor having a first current path, a first voltage being applied to one end of he first current path, a second transistor having a second current path, one end of the second current path being connected to the other end of the first current path and a second voltage being applied to the other end of the second current path, a first comparing circuit for comparing the signal voltage applied from the input terminal with a voltage appearing across the first transistor and second transistor and subdivided by both the first and second transistors, a second comparing circuit for comparing a reference voltage with the voltage appearing across the first transistor and the second transistor and subdivided by both the first and second transistors, a control circuit for supplying a control signal to control terminals of the first and second transistors based upon comparison results of the first and second comparing circuits so as to control a voltage change in the subdivided voltage between the first and second transistors with respect to the input signal voltage, and an output terminal for outputting a voltage appearing across the first transistor and the second transistor by controlling the voltage change in the subdivided voltage in response to the control signal in the control circuit.
