Abstract

An output gate according to the present invention includes a CMOS gate composed of a P-MOS transistor connected at a source to an external power supply and a first N-MOS transistor connected at a source to ground, and a second N-MOS transistor connected between ground and the first N-MOS transistor by a source-drain path. The second N-MOS transistor is connected at a gate to an external power supply.
