Abstract

A differential amplifier circuit whose noise is reduced when used in a CMOS operational amplifier without increasing its cost includes a differential input stage circuit in which gate lengths of load transistors and gate lengths of differential input transistors are set to an optimal ratio to minimize internal transistor noise components.
