An amplifying circuit comprises: a first transistor, a second transistor, a third transistor and a fourth transistor provided to an input stage; and a first bias circuit. The input signal is input into a control terminal of the first transistor and a control terminal of the second transistor, a first terminal of the first transistor is connected to a first terminal of the third transistor, a first terminal of the second transistor is connected to a first terminal of the fourth transistor, a second terminal of the first transistor is connected to a first potential, a second terminal of the second transistor is connected to a second potential that is equal to or different from the first potential, a second terminal of the third transistor is connected to a third potential, a second terminal of the fourth transistor is connected to a fourth potential, the first bias circuit is connected between a control terminal of the third transistor and a control terminal of the fourth transistor.

Amplifying circuit and current-voltage conversion circuit

The first emitter follower circuit and the second emitter follower circuit can increase an input impedance on the side of the inverting input terminal in the amplifying circuit. As a result, when a feedback circuit is connected between the inverting input terminal and the output terminal of the amplifying circuit, a fluctuation in a gain of the amplifying circuit according to a configuration of the feedback circuit can be suppressed.
