Abstract
A comparison circuit includes a differential amplifier having first and second input circuits each of which is formed of darlington-connected transistors and which are connected to receive first and second input signals. The comparison circuit further includes an operation mode control circuit for selectively short-circuiting the base-emitter path of each of the first stage bipolar transistors in the first and second input circuits, in response to the first and second input signals.
