Abstract
In an amplitude conversion circuit that converts an input signal having a small amplitude into an output signal having a large amplitude, the input signal is supplied to a gate of a transistor that discharges an output terminal through a capacitance element. A charging/discharging circuit causes a gate voltage of the transistor to be substantially equal to a threshold voltage during an inactive period of the input signal.
