Abstract

PURPOSE:To connect an output terminal of an integrated circuit to a high level or a low level at a low voltage application state below the operating power voltage without much increasing the operation power supply voltage by increasing a threshold voltage of one side of a buffer of a pre-stage of an output driver more than a threshold voltage of the same and opposite conduction type transistors(TRs) in one and same chip. CONSTITUTION:A threshold level voltage VTM of a buffer of a pre-stage of an output driver is set higher than the threshold level voltage VTM of TRs of the same conduction type and opposite conduction type in one and same chip in the manufacture process to connect an output terminal of the integrated circuit to a high level VDD or a low level VSS in a low voltage application state below the operation power supply voltage. That is, a gate level of an output driver is biased toward the high level VDD or the low level VSS thereby connecting the output terminal of the integrated circuit to the high level VDD or the low level VSS in the low level application state below the operating power supply voltage.
