The disclosure includes: a differential amplifier, and a first decoder assigning and supplying a first or second voltage to each of a plurality of input terminals based on (K+1) bits of digital data. The differential amplifier includes 2K differential pairs each driven by a tail current received individually, and a tail current control circuit supplying first to 2Kth tail currents to the 2K differential pairs and controlling first to 2Kth current ratios for the first to 2Kth tail currents based on the digital data. The tail current control circuit has a basic configuration that sets each of the first to 2Kth current ratios to a maximum value, a minimum value, or an intermediate value among three predetermined values, and increases one of the maximum and minimum values and decreases the other for the current ratio of the tail currents supplied to two predetermined differential pairs.
A digital-to-analog converter, configured to output an output voltage having one of 2(K+1) voltage levels obtained by dividing a first voltage and a second voltage into 2(K+1) according to (K+1) bits of digital data (K is a positive number of 1 or more), the digital-to-analog converter comprising:
