Abstract
An output circuit for a semiconductor integrated circuit includes an output terminal, a first NMOS transistor having one end of a current path between a drain and a source thereof connected to a first node, having a control signal input a gate thereof, and having the other end of the current path connected to a ground potential node, a second NMOS transistor having one end of a current path between a drain and a source thereof connected to the first node and the other end connected to an output terminal, a PMOS transistor and an NMOS transistor connected between a second node that is a gate of the second NMOS transistor and the output terminal, to act as capacitance elements, and a pull-up element connected between the second node and the node of the power potential.
