ABSTRACT:
Current output terminals of first and second current mirror circuits are connected. An input terminal of a third current mirror circuit is connected to a node of the current output terminals of the first and second current mirror circuits. A load circuit is connected between a current output terminal of the third current mirror circuit and a first voltage. An output terminal is connected to the load circuit. First and second currents to be compared with each other are supplied to current input terminal of the first and second current mirror circuits.
