Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the A/D conversion accuracy of an operational amplifier to the input voltage by boosting the power voltage of the operational amplifier and limiting the largest output voltage of the amplifier to the power voltage of an A/D converter. CONSTITUTION:A boosting circuit 14 boosts the power supply Vdd of an operational amplifier 1 to (Vdd+alpha). The anode and the cathode of a diode 15 are connected to the output terminal of the amplifier 1 and the power supply Vdd respectively. Then the input voltage of an A/D converter 4 is limited to the sum voltage (Vdd+Vak) of the power supply Vdd and the forward voltage Vak of the diode 15. In other words, the relative relation is decided between the Vdd and the power voltage of the converter so that the input voltage of the converter 4 is equal to (Vdd+Vak). As a result, the output voltage of the amplifier 1 can be increased up to Vdd-Vss. Then the A/D conversion accuracy of the amplifier 1 can be improved to the input voltage.
