Abstract
The disclosure relates to an integrated circuit comprising a data buffer circuit comprising first and second transistors coupled to a contact pad and third and fourth transistors. A first bias voltage is applied on a conduction terminal of the third transistor and a second bias voltage is applied on a conduction terminal of the fourth transistor. A third bias voltage less than the second bias voltage is applied on a control terminal of the first transistor and a fourth bias voltage greater than the first bias voltage is applied on a control terminal of the second transistor. Application notably for the production of a so-called 'High Speed' USB port.
