A buffering circuit with reduced power consumption is provided. The output buffering circuit includes first and second amplifier circuits. The first amplifier circuit includes a first input stage and a first output stage both coupled between a first power voltage and a second power voltage lower than the first power voltage, and an assistant discharging unit configured to provide a discharging current flowing from a first output node to a first intermediate power voltage during a discharging operation of the first amplifier circuit. The second amplifier circuit includes a second input stage and a second output stage both coupled between the first power voltage and the second power voltage, and an assistant charging unit configured to provide a charging current flowing from a second intermediate power voltage to a second output node during a charging operation of the second amplifier circuit. The first and second amplifier circuits can have reduced output voltage ranges and hence reduced total power consumption.
