Abstract
An amplifier that amplifies a differential signal includes first and second input terminals for receiving two input signals; first and second diodes each including an anode and a cathode, the anodes being electrically connected to the first and second input terminals; first and second bias current sources being respectively electrically connected to the cathodes of the first and second diodes; an operational amplifier connected to the cathode of the first diode and the cathode of the second diode and configured to amplify a differential signal between signals generated at the cathodes of the first and second diodes; a capacitive element being electrically connected between an input and an output of the operational amplifier; and a differential amplifier provided between the operational amplifier and the first and second input terminals and configured to amplify the two input signals. The first and second bias current sources include a current mirror circuit.
