ABSTRACT:
An output circuit having an output transistor which switches a load current is disclosed. The output circuit includes a load current detecting block which detects a current level of the load current, and a slew rate adjustment block which adjusts a slew rate during a turn-off transition of the output transistor in response to a result of the detection by the load current detecting block.
