Abstract

An operational amplifier includes a differential amplifier circuit, receiving a low voltage signal, and a current mirror circuit provided on the downstream. The differential amplifier circuit also includes low withstand voltage N-channel transistors, connected to respective input terminals, and high withstand voltage N-channel transistors, connected to the drain electrodes of the low withstand voltage transistors via junction points, respectively. To the gate electrodes of both the high withstand voltage transistors supplied is a bias voltage. The source electrodes of the low withstand voltage transistors are connected to the drain electrode of another low withstand voltage transistor, which has its gate electrode supplied with a bias voltage so as to operate as a current source. Those low withstand voltage transistors are smaller in size than the high withstand voltage transistors.
