To provide the variable gain amplifier circuit reducing an offset of an output obtained by amplifying two input difference signals.
An output of a variable gain circuit 1 that receives 1st and 2nd input signals at input terminals 2, 3 and controls a synthesis ratio of the 1st and 2nd input signals with a control signal and an output of a differential amplifier 5 amplifying a difference between the 1st and 2nd input signals are summed by an adder 4, which provides an output. Since the output from the variable gain circuit 1 is decreased by the addition of the output from the differential amplifier 5 with respect to a desired output signal, even when a wide dynamic range is required for the variable gain circuit 1, an output dynamic range of the variable gain circuit 1 is decreased and then an output offset of the variable gain circuit 1 caused by component mis-matching is reduced.
