Abstract

PURPOSE:To save number of circuit components and to quicken the processing by constituting an impedance conversion circuit with a source follower circuit with a drain current interrupt switch and applying a reference voltage to a subtraction circuit via the source follower circuit. CONSTITUTION:An impedance conversion circuit 2 is provided with a source follower circuit 13, a constant current source circuit 14 generating the same constant current as that of a constant current source circuit 12 and a transistor(TR) 15 for a current interrupt switch. The reference voltage from an application terminal 11 is fed to the subtraction circuit 5 via a source follower circuit 10 to cancel a dispersion error of the source follower circuit 13 and the current flowing to the source follower circuit 13 is interrupted for each bit by a control circuit 7. Thus, number of circuit components and current consumption are reduced and the fluctuation of the signal generated from the source follower circuit 13 is cancelled.
