PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the offset of a comparator by arranging a 1st protecting element for gate oxide film protection for a metal wire connected to a 1st MOS transistor(TR), forming a differential stage and a 2nd protecting element for gate oxide film protection for a metal wire connected to a 2nd MOS TR. SOLUTION: A 1st protecting element for gate oxide film protection is arranged for the metal wire connected to the gate electrode of the 1st MOS TR forming the differential stage. Furthermore, a 2nd protecting element for gate oxide film protection is arranged for the metal wire connected to the gate electrode of the 2nd MOS TR forming the differential stage. For example, a PMOS differential comparator circuit has a normally off type NMOS TR Q5 formed at the gate electrode of a 1st PMOS TR Q1 forming a differential stage. Furthermore, a normally off type NMOS TR Q6 is formed at the gate electrode of a 2nd PMOS TR Q2.
