  • Patent number: 8988138
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes an input-part receiving a first voltage and an output-part outputing a second voltage. A current mirror part receives the first voltage. A reference voltage is supplied to a gate of a reference transistor. The reference transistor is electrically connected between the current-mirror part and a ground voltage. A monitor transistor includes a gate electrically connected to the second power-supply voltage, and is electrically connected between the current-mirror part and the ground voltage. A voltage-generation transistor includes a gate electrically connected to both the current-mirror part and the reference transistor. The voltage-generation transistor is electrically connected between the input-part and the output-part. A first capacitor including one end electrically connected to the output-part, and the other end electrically connected to both the current-mirror part and the reference transistor.

  • Patent number: 8405432
    Abstract: An output buffer circuit in accordance with an embodiment comprises a plurality of buffer circuits, each of the buffer circuits including a transistor operative to change an output signal of an output terminal in response to a change in an input signal, the output buffer circuit being configured to enable the plurality of buffer circuits to be driven selectively. Each of the plurality of buffer circuits includes a plurality of output transistors having respective current paths formed in parallel to one another between a fixed voltage terminal supplying a certain fixed voltage and an output terminal, and being selectively rendered in an operable state in accordance with a control signal provided from external. The plurality of output transistors included in each of the plurality of buffer circuits are formed having a certain size ratio.
