This invention provides an absolute value voltage to current conversion circuit which realizes multiple outputs of the current obtained by the conversion of a voltage. For an input voltage of positive polarity, an inverting voltage to current conversion circuit is formed by means of an operational amplifier and a multiple output current mirror circuit. In that case, currents which are 1/n of a converted current are obtained by setting the ratio of the input current to the output current of the current mirror circuit to n:1. For an input voltage of negative polarity, a noninverting voltage to current conversion circuit is formed by means of the operational amplifier and a plurality, n, of bipolar transistors. The converted current is distributed among n bipolar transistors to obtain an output current per transistor which is 1/n of the converted current. As a result, an absolute value voltage to current conversion circuit with multiple outputs can be realized. <IMAGE> |
