8) Taking advantage of the advantages of the transistor circuit, a single MOS transistor TN2 is generally designed so that a load with a higher potential than the power supply voltage can be used as an external load of the output circuit. Using the conventional theory circuit, the second
When the circuit in the figure operates as an output circuit (N-channel transistor TNz is in operation), the extraction electrode l has a potential (>V) higher than the power supply voltage (VDD level).
DD ) is applied, and as a result, a large current flows through the diode D1 to the VDD side, causing the output circuit function to malfunction. On the other hand, if diode D1 is removed, VDD
Since there is no protection against static electricity, it becomes vulnerable to static electricity.

O8) An inverter circuit constituted by a Tunsistor TN□ constitutes an input circuit, and a diode D3 is connected between this gate input and the %VDD terminal. The gate input of the inverter circuit is an N-channel MO as an output circuit.
8) Further coupled to the open drain output of the transistor via a high resistance capacitor. A diode D4 is connected between the extraction electrode 1, which can serve as an input terminal, and the low potential level (GND level) of the power source.

2図のものと実質的に変わらないことは熱論である。Now, when the N-channel MO8 transistor 'I'Nz operates, the potential at point a can become higher than the VDD potential. Therefore, the current path from the external load circuit is resistance → diode D → internal resistance of diode → V
This becomes the DD terminal, and current will flow through this path. However, since the resistance ratio is a high resistance, the current is limited to maintain the function of the N-channel MO811 transistor TN2 in a normal operating state. Furthermore, it is a matter of opinion that the suction function is essentially the same as that shown in Fig. 2.
