  • Publication number: 20070132699
    Abstract: An output buffer for reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI) occurring due to a supply voltage applied to an integrated circuit includes a voltage sensing circuit sensing a voltage change caused by rapid voltage change at an output terminal in an internal circuit of the output buffer. The voltage sensing circuit senses a voltage change at the output terminal and applies a supply voltage or a ground voltage to the output terminal based on the sensing result, thereby gradually recovering the voltage of the output terminal to an original state. Accordingly, rapid current change does not occur at the output terminal of the output buffer, so that the voltage of the output terminal is maintained stable. As a result, EMI occurring due to the supply voltage is reduced.
