Abstract
An output circuit includes a first transistor coupled to an external terminal and including a gate terminal that receives a first drive signal. The first transistor drives a potential at the external terminal in accordance with the first drive signal. A first capacitor includes a first end coupled to the gate terminal of the first transistor and a second end coupled to the external terminal. The output circuit also includes a circuit portion coupled to the first transistor. The circuit portion maintains the first transistor in an inactivated state when the gate terminal of the first transistor is in a floating state.
