Abstract

An object is to reduce the offset voltage between the input and output in a wide range of output current with a simple circuit configuration. Transistors (Q,), (Q,) and (Q,) have a size ratio of m:n:1, transistors (Q,) and (Q,) have a size ratio of 1:p, and transistors (Q,) and (Q,) have a size ratio of {(m+n+1)/p:}). Accordingly a current which is (m+n+1) times the current flowing in the transistor (Q,) is supplied to the emitter electrodes of the transistors (Q,) and (Q,). Since the ratio between the currents flowing in the transistors (Q,) and (Q,) is the same as their size ratio m:n, the emitter-base voltages are equal between the transistors (Q,) and (Q,). As a result, the offset voltage between the voltage signal inputted to the input signal line (IN) and the voltage signal outputted from the output signal line (OUT) can be suppressed in a wide range of output current.
