Provided is an adder in which all of circuits can be constituted by CMOS
transistors, a process is simplified, and a chip size can be reduced as
compared with a conventional art. The adder according to the present
invention includes: a first VI converter and a second VI converter that
allow a current corresponding to an input voltage to flow therein; and a
current addition resistor having one end commonly connected to output
terminals of the first VI converter and the second VI converter and
another end grounded, which is adjustable in a resistance value. Each of
the first VI converter and the second VI converter includes: a prestage
VI converter that generates a reference current; a poststage VI converter
that generates a current corresponding to the input voltage; a first
current mirror circuit whose first terminal on a reference side is
connected with the prestage VI converter and whose first output terminal
in which a current corresponding to the first terminal flows is connected
with the poststage VI converter; and a second current mirror circuit
whose second terminal on the reference side is connected to the first
output terminal, and which can adjust a current ratio from a second
output terminal in correspondence with the current that flows in the
second terminal. A voltage at the one end of the current addition
resistor is output as an addition voltage.
