    Abstract: A state detection circuit for detecting whether a state of an input node is floating, grounded, or electrically connected to an external voltage includes: a unidirectional device circuit and a determination circuit. The unidirectional device circuit electrically conducts a test node to a detection node unidirectionally. The detection node is coupled to the input node. The test node, the unidirectional device circuit, the detection node and the input node form a current path. The determination circuit determines a state of the input node according to a voltage level of the detection node. Within a detection stage, the state detection circuit provides a test voltage at the test node. A voltage of the detection node is determined by the input node, the test voltage, and a characteristic of the unidirectional device circuit.

    Abstract: An amplifier circuit having low parasitic pole effect includes a preamplifier, an output transistor and a buffer circuit. The buffer circuit generates a driving signal to control the output transistor according to a preamplification signal generated by the preamplifier. The buffer circuit includes: a buffer input transistor generating the driving signal, wherein an input impedance at its control end is less than that of the output transistor; a low output impedance circuit having an output impedance which is less than an inverting output impedance of the buffer input transistor; an amplification transistor generating an amplification signal at its inverting output; and an amplification stage circuit amplifying the amplification signal by an amplification ratio, so that an equivalent output impedance at a non-inverting output of the buffer input transistor is less than or equal to a product of the reciprocal of an intrinsic output impedance thereof and an amplification ratio.
