Abstract:
A differential amplifier circuit including: a differential input stage including a pair of differential MOS transistors, a pair of load elements, and a first constant-current source; an output stage including an output MOS transistor and a second constant-current source; a constant-current MOS transistor provided in parallel to one of the first and second constant-current sources; and a boost current controlling MOS transistor in which a potential of a connection node of the output MOS transistor and the second constant-current source is applied to a gate terminal thereof; wherein the boost current controlling MOS transistor is turned on when a voltage inputted to a gate terminal of one of the pair of differential MOS transistors changes, and a current of the constant-current MOS transistor is added to one of the first and second constant-current sources and is allowed to flow.
