Abstract:
There is provided a liquid discharge apparatus including: a discharge unit which discharges a liquid by applying a driving signal to a piezoelectric element; and a driving circuit which outputs the driving signal based on an original driving signal, in which the driving circuit includes a transistor pair for outputting the driving signal, a first gate driver which generates a first control signal, and a linear amplifier which amplifies a voltage of the original driving signal, in which a first output terminal from which the first control signal is output, a first input terminal to which a first feedback signal, and a second input terminal to which a second feedback signal, and in which the shortest distance between the first output terminal and the first input terminal is longer than the shortest distance between the first output terminal and the second input terminal.

Claim (Index 14):
The integrated circuit device according to  claim 9 ,\n wherein the driving circuit further includes a D/A conversion circuit which converts a digital signal that defines a waveform of the driving signal into the original driving signal, a second transistor pair which includes a third transistor and a fourth transistor which are connected to each other in series between the second power source voltage supply line and a third power source voltage supply line for supplying a third power source voltage that is higher than the second power source voltage, a second gate driver to which the second power source voltage and the third power source voltage are supplied and which generates a second control signal that controls a switching operation of the second transistor pair in accordance with a signal output from the comparator, and a selector which makes the first gate driver operable when a voltage of the driving signal is between the first power source voltage and the second power source voltage and makes the second gate driver operable when a voltage of the driving signal is between the second power source voltage and the third power source voltage, wherein an output end of the first transistor pair and an output end of the second transistor pair are connected to the output node, wherein the integrated circuit device further includes at least a part of the D/A conversion circuit and at least a part of the selector, and wherein the selector is provided between the first gate driver and the second gate driver, and the D/A conversion circuit and the comparator.
