Clock drive circuit
A clock driver circuit, including: an input stage, a double-ended to single-ended conversion stage and a driver output stage connected in sequence. The input stage includes two mutually loaded differential amplifiers and a common mode negative feedback loop. The differential amplifiers are connected to a differential clock signal for amplification to generate a common mode voltage.

Variations in voltage at the inverting input terminal and the non-inverting input terminal are suppressed, variations in electrical properties of elements connected to the input terminals are suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to suppress generation of harmonic distortion in the output signals from the inverting output terminal and the non-inverting output terminal.
