Abstract
A level shifter unit outputting a level shifted signal generated by level shifting of output signals of the first and second differential amplifier circuits, and an output circuit including complementary output transistors series being coupled between the high potential power supply and the low potential power supply and inputting the level shifted signal.
Claims5
An operational amplifier circuit, comprising:
- first and second differential amplifier circuits, at least one of which operates in response to an input signal within a voltage range between a high potential power supply and a low potential power supply;
- a level shifter unit outputting a level shifted signal generated by level shifting of output signals of the first and second differential amplifier circuits;
- and
- an output circuit including complementary output transistors series being coupled between the high potential power supply and the low potential power supply and inputting the level shifted signal;
- wherein the level shifter unit outputs the level shifted voltage as a voltage obtained by a subtraction of threshold values of the complementary output transistors from a potential difference between the high potential power supply and the low potential power supply, and wherein the level shifter unit includes a voltage regulating unit regulating the level shifted voltage so as to cancel variations in the threshold values of the complementary output transistors.
