Abstract:
In the present invention, a differential amplifier that includes a first output transistor and a second output transistor includes a boost circuit that includes a third output transistor and a fourth output transistor. The first output transistor delivers a current according to a first differential signal generated in a differential stage to an output terminal. The second output transistor extracts a current according to a second differential signal generated as a signal which is the same phase with a different potential of the first differential signal from the output terminal. The third output transistor delivers a current to the output terminal according to a level-shifting signal generated by level-shifting the first differential signal. The fourth output transistor extracts a current from the output terminal according to a level-shifting signal generated by level-shifting the second differential signal. As the third and fourth output transistors, transistors having withstand voltages against gate-source voltages lower than those of the first and second output transistors and drain currents larger than those of the first and second output transistors are employed.
