Abstract:
A current corresponding to the difference between an input signal voltage and an output signal voltage is generated as an amplification acceleration current. The amplification acceleration current is sent to an output node of a current mirror, which drives a transistor in an output amplifier stage, and therefore added to a current to drive the transistor in the output amplifier stage.

Claim (Index 2):
The semiconductor device according to  claim 1 , wherein:\n the amplification accelerator circuit includes\n a first conductivity-type first current control transistor connected between the first output node and the fourth power supply terminal, \n a second conductivity-type second current control transistor connected between the second output node and the third power supply terminal, and \n a comparator circuit for converting a composite current of currents each of which corresponds to a magnitude comparison result between a voltage of each of the first to Nth input signals and the voltage of the output signal into voltages with respect to voltages of the third and fourth power supply terminals, and outputting signals having the converted voltages from first and second output terminals; \n control terminals of the first and second current control transistors are connected to the first and second output terminals of the comparator circuit, respectively; when the weighted average voltage of the first to Nth input signals is higher than the voltage of the output signal, the first current control transistor is activated in accordance with the signal outputted from the first output terminal of the comparator circuit to output a current sent out of the first current control transistor from the first output node, while the second current control transistor is inactivated in accordance with the signal outputted from the second output terminal of the comparator circuit to cut off a current output from the second output node; when the weighted average voltage of the first to Nth input signals is lower than the voltage of the output signal, the second current control transistor is activated in accordance with the signal outputted from the second output terminal of the comparator circuit to output a current sent out of the second current control transistor from the second output node, while the first current control transistor is inactivated in accordance with the signal outputted from the first output terminal of the comparator circuit to cut off a current output from the first output node; and when the weighted average voltage of the first to Nth input signals is equal to the voltage of the output signal, both of the first and second current control transistors are inactivated in accordance with the signals outputted from the first and second output terminals of the comparator circuit, respectively, to cut off both of current outputs from the first and second output nodes.
