A current bypass circuit that passes part of a photocurrent output from a photodetector is connected to an input terminal of a current-to-voltage conversion amplifier circuit. A voltage obtained by level conversion of an output voltage by a voltage level conversion circuit is input into the current bypass circuit so that the current bypass circuit is turned on at a photocurrent that is smaller than the photocurrent at which a diode connected in parallel to a feedback resistor of the current-to-voltage conversion amplifier circuit is turned on. Consequently, the current-to-voltage conversion gain is switched in three stages according to the intensity of the photocurrent corresponding to an optical signal level.
