ABSTRACT:
A comparator circuit includes a differential amplifier circuit (5, 6, and 7) which receives a first input voltage and a second input voltage, and outputs a comparison result signal by comparing the first and second input voltages, a current circuit (8) which supplies a driving current to activate the differential amplifier circuit, and a current control circuit (2) which is connected to the differential amplifier circuit and the current circuit. The current control circuit is deactivated when the first input voltage is lower than the second input voltage, and is activated when the first input voltage is higher than the second input voltage to reduce the driving current supplied.
