PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce power consumption in performing common mode feedback operation in a fully-differential amplifier circuit. SOLUTION: The fully-differential amplifier circuit includes: a differential amplifier configured to differentially amplify first and second input signals forming an input differential pair to generate first and second intermediate signals forming a pair; and first and second class AB amplifiers configured to amplify the first and second intermediate signals to generate first and second output signals, respectively. The first and second output signals form an output differential pair, the first class AB amplifier amplifies the first intermediate signal based on a reference voltage adjusted by a first feedback signal that is a common mode component of the first output signal and the second output signal. The second class AB amplifier amplifies the second intermediate signal based on a reference voltage adjusted by a second feedback signal that is a common mode component of the first output signal and the second output signal.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain simplified circuit and low current consumption in a discrete time amplifier circuit and an AD converter, to improve convergence from a transient response state to a steady state of the amplifier circuit and to reduce noise and distortion owing to variation in output common-mode voltage. SOLUTION: The discrete time amplifier circuit and the AD converter are provided with a switched-capacitor common-mode feedback (CMFB) circuit 2 capable of detecting and feeding back the output common-mode voltage at every sampling in the case that the circuit operates at double sampling timing (the circuit operates by every half period).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an amplifier circuit to be switchable between a single end output configuration and a differential output configuration without increasing a circuit area.SOLUTION: When switches S1 and S4 are turned off and a switch S2 is turned on, a load circuit 11 functions as an active load on a differential pair 7 and an output terminal 12 is internally disconnected. Thus, an amplifier circuit 1 is provided with a single end output configuration, differentially amplifies input voltages Vinp and Vinm input to input terminals 8 and 9 and outputs an imbalanced signal Vo from an output terminal 13. When the switches S1 and S4 are turned on and the switch S2 is turned off, the load circuit 11 functions as a load of the differential pair 7, and the output terminal 12 is internally connected. Thus, the amplifier circuit 1 is provided with a differential output configuration, differentially amplifies the input voltages Vinp and Vinm input to the input terminals 8 and 9 and outputs balanced signals Vom and Vop from the output terminals 12 and 13.
