When the potential of input terminal 1 changes from O to VDD, CM
The potential of the negative phase output terminal 4 of the OS level ECL level conversion circuit 2 changes from VDD to (VDD-VSB), and the rise detection circuit 11 maintains a logic value of ``1'' for a preset period of time.
”, the N-channel MOS transistor 8 is turned on during that time, and the charge accumulated in the load attached to the output terminal 10 passes through the resistor 7 and is transferred to the N-channel MOS transistor 8.
The potential of the output terminal 10 is lowered to (VDD-VSB-VBE) by flowing into the negative power supply 9 through the source electrode and drain electrode of the transistor 8, and then the rising detection circuit 11 outputs a logical value of 0°. Therefore, N-channel type MOS transistor 8 is turned off, and the potential of output terminal 10 is maintained by resistor element 7. On the other hand, when the potential of the input terminal 1 changes from VDD to 0, the rise detection circuit 11 remains at the logical value "0°", so the N-channel type MO9 transistor 8 turns off, and the CMOS
The potential of the negative phase output terminal 4 of the level ECL conversion circuit 2 is (VD
D-VSB) to VDD, output terminal 10 becomes (VD
D-VBE), but at this time the N-channel type M
Since the OS transistor 8 is in the off state, the emitter current of the NPN transistor 5 passes through the output terminal 10 to drive the load, and a part of it flows through the resistor element 7 to the negative power supply 9. Therefore, the input terminal 1 Only when the logic value changes from II O11 to "1", the N-channel MOS transistor 8 is turned on, and the logic value of the output terminal 10 accelerates the change from 1 to "0"; otherwise, the N-channel MOS transistor 8 turns on. Since the type MOS transistor 8 is in the off state, the steady current can be reduced by increasing the resistance value of the resistor element 7, so power consumption can be reduced.

As explained above, the present invention enables an input terminal for an input signal to output "1°" for a predetermined period of time from when the input signal changes from "0" to "1°" in logical value. Otherwise, connect the input terminal of the rise detection circuit which outputs "0" and the input terminal of the level conversion circuit, connect the negative phase output terminal of the level conversion circuit to the base electrode of the NPN type transistor, and connect the collector of the NPN type transistor. The electrode is connected to a positive power supply, the emitter electrode of the NPN transistor is connected to the output terminal, one terminal of the resistance element, and the drain electrode of the N-channel MOS transistor, and the emitter electrode of the NPN transistor is connected to the other terminal of the resistance element and the N-channel MOS transistor. By connecting the source electrode of the circuit to a negative power supply and connecting the output terminal of the rise detection circuit to the gate of an N-channel MOS transistor, the input signal changes from "0" to "1" in logical value. Only when the output terminal changes, the N-channel MOS transistor is turned on to speed up the change from "1" to "0" depending on the logic value of the output terminal, and at other times the N-channel MO5 transistor is turned off. By increasing the resistance value of the resistance element, the steady current can be reduced, which has the effect of reducing power consumption compared to the conventional method.
