Abstract

See full text

An interface device may include a first transistor, a pull-up unit, a pull-down unit, a first power supply terminal, a ground terminal, an output signal terminal, and a bias unit. A first gate terminal of the pull-up unit is electrically connected to a source terminal of the first transistor. A drain terminal of the pull-down unit is electrically connected to a drain terminal of the first transistor. The first power supply terminal is electrically connected to a source terminal of the pull-up unit. The ground terminal is electrically connected to a source terminal of the pull-down unit. The output signal terminal is electrically connected to each of a drain terminal of the pull-up unit and the drain terminal of the pull-down unit. An output terminal of the bias unit is electrically connected, without any intervening transistor, to a gate terminal of the first transistor.
