Abstract
Disclosed is a differential amplifier including an input circuit, a detecting and controlling circuit, and an output circuit. The input circuit outputs input current to two output nodes according to the voltage of a differential input signal and the voltage of a bias node. The detecting and controlling circuit outputs compensative current to the two output nodes according to control bias voltage and the voltage of the bias node, in which the voltage of the bias node and the compensative current relate to the voltage of the differential input signal. The output circuit is coupled to the two output nodes and outputs a differential output signal according to the sum of the input current and the compensative current. Due to the detecting and controlling circuit outputting the compensative current, the differential amplifier prevents itself from entering a deadlock state even though the input current is insufficient or zero.
