Abstract
A circuit includes a comparator configured to compare an input signal and another signal and output a signal indicating a result of a comparison, and an element configured to limit an amplitude of the signal indicating the result of the comparison. In a case where a current flowing through the circuit is changed, the element is able to make an adjustment of a range of a change in the amplitude due to the change in the current.
