Abstract
An integrated circuit serving as an E/D type inverter circuit and provided with a gate-protection circuit. The inverter circuit is constructed of an E type MOSFET having a gate coupled to an input signal and a D type MOSFET which operates as load, and the gate-protective circuit is constructed by a MOSFET which is connected between a power supply and the D type MOSFET and whose gate is connected to the power supply. The gate of the D type MOSFET is protected by the gate-protection circuit even if noise exists on the power supply line.
