Abstract

An amplifying apparatus amplifies an input signal supplied to an input terminal and outputs an output signal from an output terminal. The apparatus includes a high-potential power supply line through which a high voltage is supplied; a low-potential power supply line through which a low voltage is supplied; a control unit; and a power supply in which one of the high and low voltages is a fixed voltage, and which generates, as the other of the high and low voltages, one of a first voltage in which a polarity of the fixed voltage is inverted, and a second voltage which is closer to the ground potential than the first voltage is. The control unit controls the power supply to cause the other of the high and low voltages to be switched between the first voltage and the second voltage in accordance with a signal level of the output signal.
