Abstract

A multimode input circuit comprises a input terminal, first outputting circuit including a buffer circuit, for receiving a first signal having a first amplitude variation via the input terminal and outputting the first signal of a preset potential; second outputting circuit for receiving a second signal having a second amplitude variation different from the first amplitude variation via the input terminal and outputting a third signal of a preset potential, the second outputting circuit including a power source supplying terminal for supplying the same potential as the maximum potential of the second signal, a first FET having a source connected to said power source supplying terminal, a gate supplied with a selection signal for specifying one of the input signals to be selected by the multimode input circuit and a drain, and a second FET formed to make a complementary structure together with the first FET and having a drain connected to the drain of the first FET, a gate connected to the input terminal and a source connected to a circuit ground, and selecting circuit for receiving the first and third signals from the first and second outputting circuit and a selection signal from …
