The differential amplifier unit separately outputs first and second adjustment currents under an action of voltages output by the first to the third voltage output ends. The first and the second mirror current sources respectively output first and second predetermined currents according to the first output current and the first adjustment current, and the second output current and the second adjustment current, so as to maintain transconductance constancy of the differential input amplification-stage circuit. Therefore, output stability is improved.
