TERMINAL CIRCUIT, SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

摘要

A resistance circuit in which one MOS transistor is used at least in diode connection is arranged on one of a pull up side between a transmission line and a power supply and a pull down side between the transmission line and a ground. The resistance circuit has a negative characteristic which sets a resistance value to be smaller as an application voltage becomes larger. The negative characteristic is excellent in terms of symmetry with a positive characteristic which sets the resistance value to be larger as the application voltage becomes larger possessed by the other resistance circuit in which the MOS transistor is used. With this, a variation amount given by the positive characteristic can be properly cancelled.
