Abstract
A buffer circuit includes a power supply voltage detection block which may detect a voltage level of a power supply voltage, a bias generation block which may generate a constant bias signal and a plurality of enable bias signals based on the detection result of the power supply voltage, and an input buffer which may amplify an input signal in response to the constant bias signal and the plurality of enable bias signals.
