| 1. A differential amplifier, comprising:
a differential transistor pair;
at least one current source connected to said differential transistor pair;
a bias circuit which supplies a bias voltage to said current source and which controls current generated by said current source;
a first self-bias switch and a second self-bias switch each provided between an input terminal and an output terminal of each
of transistors that constitute said differential transistor pair; and
an external bias switch provided on a path of bias voltage supplied from said bias circuit to said current source.
