PURPOSE: To stabilize the circuit operation by changing the bias current of an IIL circuit in accordance with the variation of characteristics due to irradiation of γ-rays.
CONSTITUTION: If a current gain parameter of a transistor (TR) T3 is used as a sensor of the quantity of γ-ray irradiation, a signal which increases an output current I is generated by a converting circuit 1 when the current gain of the TR T3 is reduced (from 7 to 9 in figure) and a collector potential V2 of the TR T3 is raised by irradiation. When this signal is generated from a circuit block 4, the bias current to an IIL circuit 3 is changed from I1' to I2' by the variation of characteristics due to irradiation of γ-rays in a current supply circuit consisting of two TRs T1 and T2, and the current gain at a point 8 is used to stabilize the circuit operation.
