Abstract
A buffer circuit may include: an amplifying circuit configured to change, based on a first input signal and a second input signal, voltage levels of a first output node and a second output node in a range between a first power voltage and a second power voltage; a latch circuit configured to latch the voltage levels of the first output node and the second output node; a first variable load configured to adjust, based on a reset signal, an amount of current provided by a first power voltage terminal at the first power voltage to the first output node; a second variable load configured to adjust, based on the reset signal, an amount of current provided by the first power voltage terminal to the second output node; and a reset circuit configured to drive the first output node to the second power voltage based on the reset signal.
