A current supply circuit supplies a bias current to operational amplifiers
which constitute a pipelined AD converter. A current switching circuit
switches between output currents in response to a current control signal
from current control means, thereby switching between currents to be
supplied from a bias circuit to the operational amplifiers via
transistors. A sufficiently large current enough for the amplifiers to
operate at a high frequency is supplied, while the current is switched to
a lower supply current for the amplifier to operate at lower frequencies.
