Abstract

PURPOSE:To form a differential amplifier circuit having a wide output voltage range by combining a differential transistor and a current mirror voltage range by combining a differential transistor and a current mirror circuit. CONSTITUTION:An input stage is formed by differential transistors (TR) 9, 11, and the collector of the TR9 is connected to a current mirror circuit consisting of TRs 7, 8. In the way, the collector of the TR11 is connected to a current mirror circuit consisting of TRs 12, 13. Also, outputs of both current mirror circuits are connected to a current mirror circuit consisting of TRs 6, 14, and the output terminal is connected to the collector of the TRs 13 and 14. By forming in this way, the operating range which can be taken by the output termial coincides roughly with power supply voltage. In this way, a differential amplifier circuit having a wide output voltage range is formed.

Figure 1 shows a conventional example of a differential amplifier circuit, in which PNP differential transistors 1 and 4 are provided for amplification, and NPN transistors 2 and 3 are provided to obtain a single-ended output. The output terminal is connected, and a PNP transistor 5 is provided in series with the circuit power supply ■1+ to supply the bias current of the differential transistor, and the collector of the transistor is connected to the emitters of transistors 1 and 4. There is. In such a configuration, considering the operating voltage range of the output terminal, if the bias voltage of the input terminal is v2, the upper limit of the output voltage is approximately equal to V2, and the lower limit is equal to the voltage of the transistor 3.
It is equal to the saturation voltage of , and is about 0.3cm false. That is, when the bias voltage at the input terminal is low, the possible range of the output voltage becomes extremely narrow. Therefore, when the output terminal is connected to the input terminal of the subsequent stage, the degree of freedom in designing the subsequent circuit is significantly lost.

The collector of transistor 9 is connected to a current mirror circuit made up of transistors 7.8, and likewise the collector of transistor 11 is connected to a current mirror circuit made up of transistors 12.13. The outputs of the two current mirror circuits are connected to a current mirror circuit composed of transistors 6 and 14, and the output terminals are connected to the collectors of transistors 13 and 14.
