Abstract

A VI conversion circuitinputs a voltage output from a hold circuit, converts this input voltage to a current based on the resistance value of a resistor R, and outputs this current from a drain terminal of a MOS transistor T. An amp Ahas an adequate open loop gain and MOS transistor Toperates in the saturated region. Here, if the resistance value of resistor Ris R, the current value I that is output from VI conversion circuitis in the proportional relationship expressed by the equation, 'I=V/R,' with respect to the voltage V input into VI conversion circuit.
