Abstract
Abstract An amplifying circuit is suitable for an integrated circuit that has a characteristic of low-noise, high-gain, and low-consumptive current. In the circuit, transistors or FETs are used as amplifying elements. A basic amplifying circuit employing transistors, that forms a differential pair of first and second transistors, first and second resistors connected to each collector of the first and second transistors, and a constant current source connected to a common emitter of the first and second transistors, comprises a third transistor, of which emitter is connected to a connecting point of the first and second resistors, a condenser connected between a connecting point of the first transistor and the first resistor, or a connecting point of the second transistor and the second resistor, and a base of the third transistor, and a voltage source connected to a collector of the third transistor, wherein outputs are obtained from an emitter of the third transistor.
