Abstract
Respective current supply means (I.sub.A, I.sub.B) control conducting periods of corresponding transistors (Q.sub.3, Q.sub.4), whereby conducting periods of driving transistore (Q.sub.6, Q.sub.7) are also controlled. Thus, periods in which both of the driving transistors (Q.sub.6, Q.sub.7) simultaneously enter ON states are reduced and through current (I.sub.S) flowing to the ground level GND through the driving transistors (Q.sub.6, Q.sub.7) is reduced. A pull-down transistor (Q.sub.8) controls a conducting period of the driving transistor (Q.sub.7), whereby periods in which both of the driving transistors (Q.sub.6, Q.sub.7) simultaneously enter ON states are reduced and the through current (I.sub.S) is reduced.
