Abstract
The embodiment relates to an input device comprises first and second MOS transistors, first to fourth resistors, and a comparator circuit. The first MOS transistor has a drain connected to a first terminal having a first voltage, a gate connected to a signal input terminal, and a source connected to a second terminal having a second voltage via the first and third resistors. The second MOS transistor has a drain and a gate connected to the first terminal, and a source connected to the second terminal via the second and fourth resistors. The comparator circuit outputs a signal having a level corresponding to a state in which a voltage of a node between the first and third resistors is higher or lower than a voltage of a node between the second and fourth resistors.
