Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device comprising: a number n of (n≧2) transistor elements that are insulated and separated from one another and successively connected to one another in series between ground potential and a predetermined potential, wherein a transistor element at the GND potential side is set as a first stage and a transistor element at the predetermined potential side is set as an n-th stage, wherein a gate terminal of the transistor element at the first stage is set as an input terminal; and a number n of resistance elements or capacitance elements successively connected to one another in series between the GND potential and the predetermined potential, wherein a resistance or capacitance element at the GND potential side is set as a first stage and a resistance or capacitance element at the predetermined potential side is set as an n-th stage, wherein gate terminals of the transistor elements at the respective stages excluding the transistor element at the first stage are successively connected to connection points between the resistance or capacitance elements at the respective stages that are connected to one another in series, wherein an output is taken from the terminal at the predetermined potential side of the transistor element of the n-th stage.
