Abstract:
A comparator circuit, includes first and second terminals to which a reference voltage that determines a threshold voltage is inputted, a third terminal to which a standard voltage is inputted, a fourth terminal to which a target voltage that is to be detected and is based on the standard voltage is inputted, first and second transistors of a first conductivity type including control terminals to the first and second terminals, respectively, the first and second transistors flowing currents depending on a potential difference of the reference voltage, a third transistor of a second conductivity type connected between the first transistor and the fourth terminal, and a fourth transistor of the second conductivity type connected between the second transistor and the third terminal, the fourth transistor flowing a mirror current depending on a current passing through the third transistor. A voltage depending on a voltage of an intermediate node between the second and fourth transistors is outputted as an output signal.
