Abstract

A semiconductor device comprises a depletion-type NMOS transistor having a source region, a drain region connected to a power supply line, and a gate electrode connected to a ground line. An enhancement-type NMOS transistor has a source connected to the ground line, a drain connected in series with the source of the depletion-type MOS transistor between the power supply line and the ground line to define an output terminal, and a gate electrode connected directly to the output terminal.
