Abstract
A signal level adjusting circuit includes a first amplifying stage in which output electrodes of output stage transistors are connected to ground through current supplies and are connected with respective output terminals, and a DC voltage at the output terminals has a first voltage value; a second amplifying stage in which control electrodes of input stage transistors are connected with respective input terminals, and a DC voltage at the input terminals has a second voltage value; and a coupling stage, connected between the output terminals and the input terminals, which includes at least one series resistor. The first amplifying stage is incorporated in a bipolar IC, and the second amplifying stage is incorporated in a CMOS IC.
