摘要:
In an amplifier circuit of a capacitor microphone, when a too high input signal from the capacitor microphone is inputted, the levels of output signals of the amplifier circuit are limited. A first feedback capacitor of an operational amplifier is formed using a changeable capacitance type MOS capacitor element, and has a characteristic of increasing the capacitance value CAf1 according to the amplitude of an input signal generated by a capacitor increases. Therefore, CAf (=CAf1+CAF2) increases according to the amplitude of the input signal increases, and accordingly the gain of the operational amplifier decreases, thereby limiting the output signals of the operational amplifier. This realizes the appropriate limitation of the output signals of the operational amplifier, even when the amplitude of the input signal becomes too high.
