To reduce power consumption and to improve distortion by selecting an output form of the output stage of an intermediate frequency amplifier circuit.
The circuit is provided with a 1st output circuit having a voltage amplifier circuit 32 and a 1st current amplifier circuit 43, a 2nd output circuit having a voltage amplifier circuit 34 and a 2nd current amplifier circuit 44, and a switch 42 that selects an output form of the 1st output circuit and the 2nd output circuit. In the case that a 1st level control signal is received by the switch 42, the 1st output circuit acts like a push-pull circuit and the 2nd output circuit stops the operation and in the case that a 2nd level control signal is received, the 1st output circuit and the 2nd output circuit act like emitter follower circuits to select a balanced/unbalanced output stage.
