Abstract

An output stage circuit is disclosed, which includes a first PMOS transistor, a second PMOS transistor, a first NMOS transistor, and a second NMOS transistor. By using twin-well CMOS transistors and a specific circuit configuration, the invention supports a HALF AVDD structure, reduces power consumption and saves the cost of triple-well CMOS process.
