Abstract

See full text

A clipping circuit includes: a first input terminal which receives a first signal, a second input terminal which receives a second signal, and a first variable resistive element which has a control terminal electrically connected to the second input terminal and which has a threshold, wherein first and second ends of the first variable resistive element are connected to first input terminal and a reference voltage, respectively. The clipping circuit also includes a second variable resistive element which has a control terminal electrically connected to the first input terminal and which has a threshold, wherein first and second ends of the second variable resistive element are connected to a second input terminal and the reference voltage, respectively. In addition, a first bias applying unit applies a bias voltage lower than the threshold to the control terminal regarding the first variable resistive element, and a second bias applying unit applies a bias voltage lower than the threshold to the control terminal regarding the second variable resistive element.
