  • Patent number: 8552802
    Abstract: An amplifying circuit comprises: a first transistor, a second transistor, a third transistor and a fourth transistor provided to an input stage; and a first bias circuit. The input signal is input into a control terminal of the first transistor and a control terminal of the second transistor, a first terminal of the first transistor is connected to a first terminal of the third transistor, a first terminal of the second transistor is connected to a first terminal of the fourth transistor, a second terminal of the first transistor is connected to a first potential, a second terminal of the second transistor is connected to a second potential that is equal to or different from the first potential, a second terminal of the third transistor is connected to a third potential, a second terminal of the fourth transistor is connected to a fourth potential, the first bias circuit is connected between a control terminal of the third transistor and a control terminal of the fourth transistor.

  • Patent number: 8310307
    Abstract: The first emitter follower circuit and the second emitter follower circuit can increase an input impedance on the side of the inverting input terminal in the amplifying circuit. As a result, when a feedback circuit is connected between the inverting input terminal and the output terminal of the amplifying circuit, a fluctuation in a gain of the amplifying circuit according to a configuration of the feedback circuit can be suppressed.
