Semiconductor device equipped with a pull-down circuit
Abstract:
Provided is a semiconductor device equipped with a pull-down circuit capable of reducing its area. The pull-down circuit is formed of a depletion type NMOS transistor in which a gate thereof is connected to a ground potential, and an enhancement type NMOS transistor in which a gate and a drain thereof are connected to a source of the depletion type NMOS transistor and a source thereof is connected to the ground potential. An overdrive voltage of the depletion type NMOS transistor is reduced by a threshold voltage of the enhancement type NMOS transistor, whereby a size of the depletion type NMOS transistor can be reduced. Accordingly, an area of the pull-down circuit can be reduced.
