Abstract
Two p-channel MOS transistors are inserted in series between the positive power supply and the output terminal, whereas two n-channel MOS transistors are inserted in series between the output terminal and the negative power supply. Across the source and drain of one of the p-channel MOS transistors, a first diode is connected in parallel in the forward direction. Similarly, across the source and drain of one of the n-channel MOS transistors, a second diode is connected in parallel in the forward direction.
