    摘要: A voltage generating circuit, in which the influence of offset of an amplifier on an output voltage is reduced, has first and second bipolar transistors (Q1, Q2) having emitter terminals at the same electric potential. A base terminal of Q1 is disposed on a collector side of Q2. A first resistance element connects the collector side of Q2 with the base side of Q2; and a second resistance element (R1) connects a collector side of Q1 to R2. A third resistance element (R3) connects a base terminal of Q2 with the electric potential of the emitter terminals. An amplifier (A1) outputs a voltage based on a voltage difference between the collector sides of Q1 and Q2; and a voltage-current converting section (MP1, MP2) converts amplifier output into a current supplied to the connection node of R1 and R2. A voltage is then output on the basis of the generated current.

    摘要: A current source block and a negative resistance generation block are connected in parallel. The negative resistance generation block generates a negative resistance in response to the minute variations of an output voltage. Thus the output resistance of a current source circuit is given by the combined resistance of the negative resistance and the resistance of a resistor in the current source block connected in parallel. The resistance of the resistor in the current source block and the negative resistance are controlled to be substantially the same to thereby increase the output resistance of the current source circuit. The current source circuit serves to increase an output resistance when viewed from an differential output terminal. As a result, use of this current source circuit realizes a differential amplifier providing a high gain.

    摘要: A current driven D/A converter sets an OFF control voltage (BIAS3) for turning off NMOS transistors M12P, M12N, M22P, M22N, M32P and M32N at a voltage close to an ON control voltage (BIAS2). This makes it possible to reduce the swing of the control voltage (ON control voltage—OFF control voltage) of the NMOS transistors, and hence to reduce the noise due to charge injections through parasitic capacitances, and noise of a ground voltage or power supply voltage due to flowing of discharge currents from the parasitic capacitances to the ground or power supply at turn off of the transistors, thereby being able to offer a high performance current driven D/A converter.

    摘要: A gate electrode has a relatively long gate length of e.g., about 10 &mgr;m. In a region immediately above the gate electrode which is sandwiched between first-layer metals provided is a metal dummy pattern having a width in the first direction and extending in the second direction perpendicular to a direction of gate length (direction of current flow). Moreover, a geometric center of the metal dummy pattern in the second direction is equal to a geometric center of the gate electrode in the second direction. This maintains the symmetry in shape of the metal dummy pattern as viewed from the gate electrode. Such a structure can make deterioration in characteristics of a plurality of elements uniform while maintaining the essential effect of a metal CMP.

    摘要: A current generator (CG) is composed of a constant-current-source transistor M1, and transistors (M2, M3). On receipt of control signals (VG2, VG3) respectively from a driver circuit (not shown), the transistors (M2, M3) complementarily operate to function as current switches. Then, damping resistance (R3) is provided between the drain electrode of the transistor (M3) and an output terminal ({overscore (IT)}). The output terminal ({overscore (IT)}) is connected to a ground (GND), while an output terminal (IT) is grounded via an external terminal (R2). Such a structure allows a semiconductor integrated circuit device to reduce its output ringing and further to suppress imperfections resulting from the adoption of the structure to reduce the ringing.
