Abstract

A buffer circuit includes first and second differential amplification type buffer circuits. The input nodes of the first and second differential amplification type buffer circuits are connected together and the output nodes of the first and second differential amplification type buffer circuits are also connected to each other. The first differential amplification type buffer circuit is constituted by a pair of driving P-channel MOS transistors and N-channel MOS transistors acting as loads of the P-channel MOS transistors and connected to constitute a current mirror circuit. The second differential amplification type buffer circuit is constituted by P-channel MOS transistors acting as loads and connected to constitute a current mirror circuit and a pair of driving N-channel MOS transistors.
