Differential amplifier circuit

A differential amplifier for generating an output voltage by amplifying a differential input voltage applied between a pair of input terminals, said differential amplifier comprising:

• a voltage-to-current converting circuit that includes a pair of resistances, wherein one of said input terminals of said pair of input terminals is directly connected with one end of one of said resistances and the other input terminal of said pair of input terminals is connected with one end of the other of said resistances, a potential at the other end of each of said resistances of said pair being kept constant by a feedback circuit, said voltage-to-current converting circuit generating an electric current corresponding to said differential input voltage;
• a current amplifying circuit coupled to said voltage-to-current converting circuit for receiving said electric current corresponding to said differential input voltage, said current amplifying circuit including a first differential amplifying circuit and a second differential amplifying circuit, wherein said electric current corresponding to said differential input voltage is amplified as it flows from said first differential amplifying circuit to said second differential amplifying circuit;
• and
• a current-to-voltage converting circuit coupled to said current amplifying circuit in which the amplified electric current outputted from said current amplifying circuit to said current-to-voltage converting circuit is converted to the output voltage of said differential amplifier.
