Due to the current mirror operation of transistors 5 and 6, the output current I 2 flows only when the input current I 1 is in the direction shown in FIG. 1, and the output current I 2 flows as shown in FIG.
∝A Maintain the relationship of 1 . Although the collector current I 7 of the transistor 7 is also I 7 ∝I 1 , the current I 3 does not flow until the voltage across the resistor 9 reaches a value that turns on the transistor 8 . That is, as shown in FIG. 3b, there is an insensitive portion of I 0 in the relationship between I 3 and I 1 . In order to reduce I 0 , the resistor 9 should be made larger or not connected, but it is necessary that the transistor 8 not malfunction due to the leakage current of the transistor 7 . Therefore, I 0 cannot be made very small.

FIG. 4 shows a circuit diagram of an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the bases and emitters of PNP type transistors 5 and 6 are connected in common, and the base and collector of transistor 5 are also directly connected to form a current mirror circuit. The base of the PNP type transistor 11 is connected to the common emitter of the current mirror circuit, the emitter is connected to the power supply terminal 4, and the collector is connected to the output terminal 10.

When the input current I 1 of input terminal 1 is in the outflow direction, I 1 ∝I 2 due to current mirror operation,
It exhibits characteristics like I 2 in FIG. Furthermore, when the input current I 1 is in the direction of inflow, the current mirror does not operate and I 2 =O. When I 2 >O, the total current on the emitter side of the current mirror circuit is (I 1 +I 2 ), which becomes the base current of the transistor 11. Therefore, the collector current of transistor 11
I 10 becomes I 10 =(I 1 +I 2 )×h FE (where h FE is the current amplification factor of the transistor 11), as shown by I 10 in FIG. 5. Therefore, the input current when I 10 reaches I th becomes I 0 ', and the input current when I 2 = I th
The result is approximately 1/2h FE of I 0 , and the insensitive area becomes extremely small.

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the collector of the transistor 11 is grounded to the base of a common emitter transistor 8 and a resistor 9 whose one end is grounded, and the collector of the transistor 8 is connected to the output terminal 3. ing. The relationship among I 1 , I 2 , and I 10 is the same as in the previous embodiment. Since the value of I 1 when the voltage across the resistor 9 due to I 10 reaches the voltage that turns on the transistor 8 is sufficiently small as described above, the output current I 3 becomes as shown in FIG. Furthermore, it is clear that even if a leakage current flows through the collector of the transistor 11, malfunction will not occur because of the presence of the resistor 9.
