Abstract:
A differential amplifier includes an amplifying stage that outputs an output signal by amplifying an input signal with a gain set by a control signal, and an adjusting stage that stabilizes a DC level of the output signal. The amplifying stage includes a first source supplying a first current, and a load, and determines a ratio of a current flowing through the load to the first current depending on the input signal and the control signal, and generates the output signal from a voltage drop of the load. The adjusting stage includes a second source supplying a second current, and a monitor resistor, and generates a monitor current divided from the second current by the ratio, and duplicates the DC level as a voltage drop of the monitor resistor caused by the monitor current, and controls the first current source and the second current source depending on the DC level.
