<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a clip amount while limiting the amplitude of an output signal. <P>SOLUTION: This amplifier 100 includes: an inversion type negative feedback amplifier 20 using an operational amplifier 21; an amplitude limiting circuit 50; and a control circuit 40A. When a signal Vp exceeds predetermined potential, the control circuit 40A generates a control voltage CTL to lower the gain of a VCA 30. The amplitude limiting circuit limits the amplitude of Vp of which the amplitude is thus adjusted. Thereby, the waveform of an output signal Vo does not become rectangular even when the amplitude of an input signal Vin increases, and application power is reduced. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
