Abstract
A semiconductor circuit has a power source terminal set at a positive potential, a reference potential terminal set at a reference potential, a first MOS transistor whose current path is connected between the power source terminal and an output terminal, and a second MOS transistor whose current path is connected between the output terminal and the reference potential terminal. The gates of the first and second MOS transistors are commonly connected to an input terminal. The first and second MOS transistors are respectively n- and p-channel MOS transistors.
