Abstract
A low-noise output buffer circuit of this invention comprises a P-channel MOSFET having a source connected to a power source potential, for outputting the power source potential according to a first input signal, an N-channel MOSFET having a source connected to a ground potential, for outputting the ground potential according to a second input signal, a bipolar transistor having a collector connected to the power source potential, an emitter connected to an output terminal and a base connected to the drain of the P-channel MOSFET, and a diode having a cathode connected to the drain of the N-channel MOSFET and an anode connected to the base of the NPN bipolar transistor.
