Abstract:
A differential amplifier circuit includes: a control current source supplying a control current; paired bipolar transistors; an a variable resistance circuit including: a series circuit of a first resistor and a second resistor having an identical resistance, the series circuit electrically connected between a first terminal and a second terminal of the variable resistance circuit; a first field effect transistor (FET) having a source and a drain being electrically connected to emitters of the paired bipolar transistors, respectively; and a second FET having a drain, a gate being electrically connected to the drain thereof, the gate of the first FET, and a control terminal of variable resistance circuit, a source being electrically connected to a connection node between the first resistor and the second resistor, wherein the control current source adjusts the control current to allow transconductance of the second FET to be kept constant.
