Squelch detecting circuit

摘要

The present invention provides a squelch detecting circuit capable of high-speed transfer while using a reduced number of high-speed operating operational amplifiers to reduce power consumption and the cost of parts. Input differential signals inputted to a differential amplification circuit are amplified and the amplified signal is outputted to a gain proportion circuit. The gain proportion circuit supplies a potential holding circuit with a potential proportional to the amplified signal. The potential holding circuit holds the potential supplied from the gain proportion circuit. A comparator circuit compares the potential held by the potential holding circuit with a reference potential to decide whether it is a squelch state or a non-squelch state and outputs the result as a detect signal.
