A driving circuit capable of implementing voltage reduction and attaining high-speed
operation and high precision while controlling currents consumed by two through
current control transistors independently of each other is obtained. This driving
circuit comprises a first differential circuit including a first through current
control transistor, a second differential circuit including a second through current
control transistor and an output circuit including a first conductivity type first
output transistor having a gate supplied with an output of the first differential
circuit and a second conductivity type second output transistor having a gate supplied
with an output of the second differential circuit. A first potential is supplied
to the gate of the first through current control transistor of the first differential
circuit while a second potential is supplied to the gate of the second through
current control transistor of the second differential circuit.
