Since the diodes 5 to 7 are inserted into the negative feedback loop, the forward voltage v,1 of the diodes can be ignored. Since the cathodes of diodes 5 to 7 are commonly connected, the input V□8. One of the operational amplifiers 1 to 3, for example 3, to which the highest voltage of ~V□N5 is applied functions as a voltage follower. However, since the potential of the negative input terminal of the remaining operational amplifier 1.2 is higher than that of the positive input terminal, the output is saturated to the negative power supply side, so the diode 5 connected to the output terminal of the operational amplifier 112 .6 becomes a reverse bias and is separated from the output. As a result, the maximum voltage among the multiple analog input voltages is output.
