Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a differential amplification circuit that outputs differential output signals Vo 1  and Vo 2,  external output terminals PD 1  and PD 2  to which one of the differential output signals Vo 1  and Vo 2  and single end signals Vo 3  and Vo 4  is selectively supplied, switch units SW 1  and SW 2  that control a conduction state between the external output terminal PD 1  and the feedback line and a conduction state between the external output terminal PD 2  and the feedback line, respectively, resistance elements R 1  and R 2  respectively provided in series with the switch units SW 1  and SW 2,  a CMFB circuit that controls a common mode voltage of the differential amplification circuit according to a difference between an intermediate voltage Vcm of the external output terminals PD 1  and PD 2  in the feedback line and a reference voltage Vref, and a switch unit SW 3  that controls to supply a clamp voltage to the feedback line.

Claim (Index 14):
A control method of a semiconductor device, the control method comprising:\n in a first mode,\n connecting a first output terminal and a feedback line via a first resistance element and connecting a second output terminal and the feedback line via a second resistance element by turning on both first and second switch units; \n controlling a common mode voltage of a differential amplification circuit according to a difference between a voltage on the feedback line and a reference voltage; and \n outputting one of differential output signals output from the differential amplification circuit in accordance with differential input signals to outside via the first output terminal and outputting the other one of the differential output signals output from the differential amplification circuit in accordance with the differential input signals to outside via the second output terminal, and \n in a second mode,\n disconnecting the connection between the first output terminal and the feedback line and the connection between the second output terminal and the feedback line by turning off both the first and second switch units; \n supplying a predetermined clamp voltage to the feedback line; and \n outputting first and second single end signals to outside via the first and second output terminals, respectively.
