  • Patent number: 6603456
    Abstract: A differential voltage between the threshold voltage of an amplitude amplifying logic circuit 20 and a reference voltage V1 is stored in a capacitor C1. When an input signal IS is input to the amplitude amplifying logic circuit 20, it is input after adding to the voltage of the input signal IS the voltage stored in the capacitor C1. In this manner, any difference between the threshold voltage V1 of the amplitude amplifying logic circuit 20 and the reference voltage can be absorbed. Therefore, a signal amplifier circuit can operate normally even when the threshold voltage of the amplitude amplifying logic circuit 20 in the signal amplifier circuit varies.
