Abstract
A driving circuit including a detection circuit, a first control circuit, a second control circuit, and a driving transistor is provided. The detection circuit is coupled between a first power terminal and a second power terminal and generates a detection signal according to the voltages of the first and second power terminals. The first control circuit generates a first control signal according to the detection signal. The second control circuit generates a second control signal according to the detection signal. The driving transistor is coupled between an input-output pad and the second power terminal. When the detection signal is at a first level, the driving transistor is turned on according to the first control signal. When the detection signal is at a second level, the driving transistor is configured to operate according to the second control signal. The first level is different from the second level.
