Abstract
An output circuit outputs an output signal having an amplitude VCCH responsive to an input signal having an amplitude VCCL. The output circuit includes: first and second p-type transistors connected in series between VCCH and an output terminal; a first n-type transistor grounded at its source and receiving a first signal at its gate; a third p-type transistor connected to VCCH at its source, connected to the gate of the first p-type transistor at its drain, and receiving a second signal at its gate; and a first diode connected between the drains of the first n-type transistor and the third p-type transistor.
