Abstract
An integrated circuit includes an upper threshold circuit configured to set a logic level of a first enabling signal, a lower threshold circuit configured to set a logic level of a second enabling signal, and a control circuit configured to change an output voltage signal in response to a condition that the logic level of the first enabling signal and the logic level of the second enabling signal are changed consecutively. In the control circuit, a first switch is electrically connected to a second switch at a buffer output node. The control circuit includes a regenerative circuit configured to maintain the output voltage signal at the buffer output node while each of the first switch and the second switch is at a disconnected state.
