Abstract

An output driving circuit includes a first pull-up transistor, a first pull-down transistor and a second pull-down transistor. The first pull-up transistor is configured to generate a first output signal at the output node in response to a first control signal. The first pull-down transistor is configured to generate a second output signal at the output node in response to a second control signal. The second pull-down transistor is configured to connect the output node to the first ground voltage in response to a third control signal. The memory device including the output driving circuit may be insensitive to noise and may have little data transmission error.
