Abstract
A driver includes a first level shifting unit generating a second signal swinging in a second threshold range in response to a first signal swinging in a first threshold range, a second level shifting unit generating a third signal swinging in a third threshold range in response to the second signal, a first pull-up driving unit driving an output terminal with a first high-voltage in response to the second signal, a first pull-down driving unit driving the output terminal with a first low voltage in response to the third signal, a second pull-down driving unit driving the output terminal with a second low voltage higher than the first low voltage in response to the fourth signal, and a first path coupling unit coupling the second pull-down driving unit with the output terminal in response to the second signal.
