Title:
SEMICONDUCTOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3709246
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To supply a large control signal and realize a low voltage loss even when a potential difference between a power source terminal and an output node becomes small by connecting a reference electrode of a driving transistor in a buffer circuit with the power supply terminal.
SOLUTION: This semiconductor integrated circuit includes a differential amplifier, which is mainly constituted by differential transistors Q1 and Q2 and a current source transistor Q9, and further includes a buffer circuit constituted by a driving transistor 10, an operation control transistor Q12, and a control transistor Q11. Herein, by connecting a reference electrode of the driving transistor 10 with a power source terminal VDD, a relatively large control signal can be applied to an output node N2 even when a potential difference between the power source terminal VDD and the output node N2 becomes small. Thus, the buffer circuit functions as a low voltage loss circuit. Further, a gate voltage of the transistor Q10 can be lowered to a grounded voltage, resulting in an enhanced driving ability.
