Abstract
An Nch-Tr having a gate connected to an input terminal and an Nch-Tr having a gate connected to an output signal voltage supply terminal through a Pch-Tr are connected to an output terminal for outputting an output signal carrying a second voltage level. In changing the output signal from a high level to a low level in accordance with a change of an input signal carrying a first voltage level, both the Nch-Trs are initially turned ON to lower the voltage of the output signal, and then the Nch-Tr having its gate connected to the output signal voltage supply terminal through the Pch-Tr is brought into a high ON state (a state of higher driving power) to turn the voltage of the output signal to the low level, so that the output signal can be changed quickly by a simple circuit configuration.
