A buffer circuit according to an aspect of the inventive concepts include an operational amplifier configured to amplify an input voltage to generate an output voltage; a slew-rate compensating circuit configured to generate a compensation current based on a difference between a voltage level of the input voltage and a voltage level of the output voltage, and configured to provide the compensation current to the operational amplifier through a boosting transistor; and an offset blocking circuit configured to turn off the boosting transistor when the difference between the voltage level of the input voltage and the voltage level of the output voltage is less than a reference voltage level by providing a blocking current to the slew-rate compensating circuit.
