Abstract

A differential amplifier circuit in which an input offset voltage is very small. The differential amplifier circuit includes an input-stage differential amplifier section and a cascode-connected single-ended output section connected to the input-stage differential amplifier section. The input-stage differential amplifier section has a folded-cascode-connection. An inverted signal and non-inverted signal on the input side and output side, respectively, of the input-stage differential amplifier section are switched alternatingly in time-shared fashion by switches that are operated by two chopping clock signals of opposite phase.
