Abstract

There is provided an input buffer circuit having hysteresis characteristics. The input buffer circuit includes: a first operating unit performing a NOR operation on an input signal and a first signal; a second operating unit performing a NAND operation on the input signal and a second signal; and an inverting unit inverting outputs of the first and second operating units to generate a second signal and a first signal, respectively, wherein reference levels of the first and second operating units determining a high or low level of the input signal are set to be different.
