The power-amplifier circuit of this invention further comprises third transistor for detecting an operating current of the first transistor of the output stage, a fourth transistor which is driven by the third transistor and whose base is connected to the base of the second transistor of the output stage, and fifth and sixth transistors which are connected in such a manner that a sum of the base-emitter voltages of the fifth and sixth transistors is made equal to a sum of the base-emitter voltages of the second and fourth transistors, and through which there flows a current corresponding to a product of the operating currents of the first and second transistors constituting the output stage. A current running through the fifth and sixth transistors is supplied to the pre-amplifier means through a negative feedback path so as to be regulated.

摘要:
In a CMOS image sensor, current leakage after a series of noise removing operations has been completed is suppressed in a read operation for each horizontal line, thereby suppressing image noise occurring on the output display screen of the image sensor. There are provided signal storage regions for storing the signals read from the unit cells in the same row selected in the imaging area onto vertical signal lines and horizontal select transistors for sequentially selecting and reading the signals stored in the individual signal storage regions and transferring them to read horizontal signal lines. At least in the period during which the signals are read from the signal storage regions, one of the drain and source of the transistor electrically connected to the signal path between the vertical signal line and horizontal signal line is biased in the reverse direction with respect to the substrate region. Two adjacent ones of the horizontal select transistors form a pair. The horizontal select transistors in each pair share one of the source/drain regions so as to be connected to the horizontal signal line in common, and the others of the source/drain regions are connected to the vertical signal line individually.

A power amplifier comprises a pair of power-supply rails, a power-supply voltage divider, an intermediate power-supply line, a first and second BTL amplifiers, and a first to fourth switching circuits. The power-supply rails are composed of a first power-supply line to which a power-supply potential is applied and a second power-supply line to which the ground potential is applied. The power-supply divider produces an intermediate potential by dividing the voltage between the power-supply rails in two and supplies it to the intermediate power-supply line. The first BTL amplifier is provided between the second power-supply line and the intermediate power-supply line. The second BTL amplifier is provided between the first power-supply line and the intermediate power-supply line. The first and second BTL amplifiers each include an output bridge circuit. At small signal input, the switching circuit connects not only the output bridge circuit of the first BTL amplifier between the intermediate power-supply line and second power-supply line, but also the output bridge circuit of the second BTL amplifier between the first power-supply line and the intermediate power-supply line. At large signal input, the switching circuit connects each of the output bridge circuits of the first and second BTL amplifiers between the power-supply rails.
