Abstract

A semiconductor device includes: a first input to which an input signal is input; a second input to which a reference signal is input; and a comparison stage which includes a current source connected to a first potential and first and second current path parts connected between the current source and a second potential different from the first potential and performing a comparison operation in response to the input signal and the reference signal, wherein the first and second current path parts respectively include first and second input circuits which are connected to the current source and first and second load circuits which are connected between the second potential and the first and second input circuits, wherein the first input circuit includes a first signal transistor and a first reference transistor, and wherein the second input circuit includes a second signal transistor and a second reference transistor.
