Abstract
A transmitter suitable for signal driving of a semiconductor device includes a driving power voltage generator and an output driver. The driving power voltage generator includes an NMOS transistor having a drain connected with a first voltage supply terminal, a gate connected to receive a second voltage lower than a voltage of the first voltage supply terminal, and a source outputting an output driving voltage and configured to perform source follower voltage regulating.
