Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent an output voltage of the comparator circuit from being affected by an offset voltage of an amplifier circuit by using a switch circuit provided between terminals of the amplifier circuit so as to make a potential difference between the two input terminals of the amplifier circuit equal to the offset voltage of the amplifier circuit. CONSTITUTION:Switch circuits 4-9 are closed by an initial clock. In this case, the relation of Va-Vb=A1.Vof1 and Vc-Vd=A1.Vof2, where Vof1 is an offset voltage of an amplifier circuit 1, A1 is its gain, Vof2 is an offset voltage of an amplifier circuit 2, A2 is its gain, Va, Vb are a potential at a noninverting input terminal and an inverting input terminal of the circuit 1, Vc, Vd are a potential at a noninverting input terminal and an inverting input terminal of the circuit 2. The relation Of Vac-Vbd=(Va-Vc)-(Vb-Vd)=A.Vof1-Vof2, where Vac, Vbd are respectively voltages at capacitors 12, 13, and an input voltage Vin is stored in a capacitor 10. When the switch circuits 4-9 are opened and a switch circuit 3 is closed, the relation of Vc-Vd= A1(Vin-Vref)+Vof2 is established and the effect of an offset voltage of the amplifier circuits 1, 2 onto an output voltage is avoided and a difference between the input voltage Vin and the reference voltage Vref is outputted while being multiplied by a gain of the circuits 1, 2.
