Abstract
A deterioration inhibiting circuit includes a switchover circuit that inhibits characteristic deterioration of first and second transistors included in a differential pair circuit having first and second input terminals. A gate of the first transistor is connected to the first input terminal, and a gate of the second transistor is connected to the second input terminal. The switchover circuit executes switchover between a first state and a second state. In the first state, a first voltage is applied to the gate of the first transistor and a second voltage is applied to the gate of the second transistor. In the second state, the second voltage is applied to the gate of the first transistor and the first voltage is applied to the gate of the second transistor. The first voltage is higher than an intermediate voltage, and the second voltage is lower than the intermediate voltage.
