Abstract
A driving circuit is provided. A delay circuit is configured to delay a first signal. A control circuit is configured to provide a first control signal and a second control signal according to the first signal, and provide a third control signal and a fourth control signal according to the first signal and the delayed first signal. A first driver is coupled to a pad and controlled by the first and second control signals. A second driver is coupled to the pad and controlled by the third and fourth control signals. The delay circuit, the control circuit and the second driver are powered by a first power supply voltage, and the first driver is powered by a second power supply voltage less than the first power supply voltage. The first and second control signals are the same, and the third and fourth control signals are different.
