Abstract: An output buffer generates "1" or "0" data based on control signals VA and VB transferred from memory cells through a DQ gate in a DRAM. The output buffer has first and second discharge circuits, and a first output transistor (PMOS Transistor).

Further, the output buffer has first and second precharge circuits, and a second output transistor (NMOS transistor). The second precharge circuit stops charging the gate of the second output transistor after the voltage on the gate increases above the threshold voltage of the second output transistor and the second output transistor turns ON.
