PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To execute RF-AGC processing based on DSP with less power consumption without using a special AD converter adaptable to high-frequency input. SOLUTION: A control circuit is provided with an A/D conversion circuit 10 for converting a wide-band intermediate frequency signal to be output from a frequency conversion circuit 5 into a digital signal; and a DSP 11 for generating control data for controlling the gains of an antenna damping circuit 3 and an LNA 4, on the basis of the level of a wide-band digital intermediate frequency to be outputted from the A/D conversion circuit 10 and outputting the generated data. The control circuit applies A/D conversion to the wide-band intermediate frequency signal to be output from the frequency conversion circuit 5, and supplies it to the DSP 11. In this way, the frequency of an input signal to the A/D conversion circuit 10 can be reduced, and thus, the necessity of using a special AD converter adaptable to a high-frequency input can be eliminated, and the power consumption can also be reduced.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a differential amplifier that can be used even in a high frequency region, improve an output offset current and signal distortion, and reduce the consumed current. SOLUTION: A differential amplifier circuit of an input stage is configured with a twin differential form comprising first and second differential amplifier circuits 11, 12, and first and second common source amplifiers M5, M10 extract respective differential outputs. A current mirror circuit comprising transistors M11, M12 is connected to the second common source amplifier M10 and a drain current of the second common source amplifier M10 drives the transistor M12. Thus, the connections above are contrived such that an upper half dynamic range of an AC signal output from an output terminal OUT depends on a current supply capability of the first common source amplifier M5 and the lower half dynamic range depends on a current supply capability of the second common source amplifier M10 thereby eliminating the need for provision of a constant current circuit processing a high current for the purpose of producing the lower half signal with improved waveform distortion.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stereo noise control circuit for suppressing variations in a DC output voltage. SOLUTION: When 38 kHz signals 138P, 138N are inputted to gates of MOS transistors Q1, Q2, both source voltages in terms of AC differ depending on levels of the 38 kHz signals 138P, 138N. As a result, a current flows to resistors R1 to R5 at source sides of the MOS transistors Q1, Q2 in response to a voltage difference between both the source voltages and the resistance value depending on a state of switch elements SW1 to SW5. Thus, an amplitude of an output signal can be changed by turning ON/OFF the switch elements SW1 to SW5. Then the amplitude of the output signal can be adjusted without changing a DC output voltage of the stereo noise control circuit. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
