Abstract:
A circuit device includes an output terminal, an output transistor, and a gate voltage control circuit. The output transistor is provided between a first power supply node and the output terminal. The gate voltage control circuit changes a gate voltage of the output transistor at a first temporal voltage change rate after an input signal changes from a first logic level to a second logic level, changes the gate voltage at a second temporal voltage change rate smaller than the first temporal voltage change rate after the gate voltage reaches a first determination voltage, and changes the gate voltage at a third temporal voltage change rate greater than the second temporal voltage change rate after the gate voltage reaches a second determination voltage.
