The semiconductor types of first and second semiconductor type transistors are different from one another and the two transistors are connected in series. An input signal is supplied to each of the bases of the first and second transistors. Each of the collector electric currents of the first and second transistors are thus controlled. An output is provided from the inter-connection point of the first and second transistors. A third transistor supplies the collector electric current which is 1/K.sub.1 times the collector electric current of the second transistor, where K.sub.1 is the current-mirror ratio between the second and third transistors. A fourth transistor has the collector and base connected with one another. The fourth transistor supplies an electric current according to the collector electric current of the third transistor. A fifth transistor has the base electric current controlled by the base electric current of the fourth transistor. The fifth transistor supplies its collector electric current, which is K.sub.2 times the collector electric current of the fourth transistor, to the base of the first transistor, where K.sub.2 is the current-mirror ratio between the fourth and fifth transistors.

A voice recording/playback apparatus includes a head unit which records a voice signal in a recording medium and for playing back a recorded voice signal from the recording medium. A playback head amplifier unit amplifies a playback signal output from the head unit. A voice output unit outputs a voice in accordance with the playback signal amplified by the playback head amplifier unit. A muting switch is provided between the playback head amplifier unit and the voice output unit. The muting switch cuts off a connection between the playback head amplifier unit and the voice output unit when a voice recording mode is performed by the head unit.

A first capacitor is charged by a driving current. A second capacitor is charged by a driving current. A first discharging transistor discharges the first capacitor in accordance with a charged voltage of the second capacitor. A second discharging transistor discharges the second capacitor in accordance with a charged voltage of the first capacitor. The oscillation circuit generates an oscillation signal in accordance with the charged voltages of the first and second capacitors. An oscillation restarting circuit, when the first and second discharging transistors simultaneously perform discharging and thus oscillation stops, causes the discharging of the second discharging transistor to stop, and thereby, restarts the oscillation.

A motor drive circuit 1 is driven by a DC power source 2 connected to power source terminals Tv1, Tv2 and has a first drive transistor Q1 for controlling a drive current supplied to a first terminal Tm1 of a motor from the DC power source 2, a second drive transistor Q2 for supplying current drawn from the first terminal Tm1 of the motor 3 to a ground, a third drive transistor Q3 for controlling a drive current supplied to a second terminal Tm2 of the motor 3 from the DC power source 2, a fourth drive transistor Q4 for drawing current from a second terminal Tm2 of the motor 3, a drive control circuit 4 for controlling the operation of the motor 3 by controlling the drive transistors Q1 through Q4 in response to a first and second control signal supplied to a first and second control terminal Tc1, Tc2, a first control transistor Qc1 having the same polarity as, and connected in parallel to and in the reverse direction of, the second drive transistor Q2 and a second control transistor Qc2 having the same polarity as, and connected in parallel to and in the reverse direction of, the fourth drive transistor Q4. The control transistors limit a decrease in voltage at the first and second terminals Tm1 and Tm2 of the motor 3 generated by a counter-electromotive force of the motor 3, making it possible to clamp the voltage at the terminals at a relatively low level. As a result, a lock-up is prevented even with the use of relatively small-capacity diodes, with the advantage that an IC chip of the motor drive circuit can be reduced further in size.

An amplifier system includes a constant current unit which produces a constant current in response to a source voltage from a source voltage terminal. An emitter follower unit has a base, an emitter and a collector, an input signal being supplied to the base, the emitter being connected to the constant current unit, the source voltage being supplied to the collector, the emitter follower unit producing an output signal at the emitter in response to the input signal. A current regulating unit regulates the constant current in response to a collector current fed into the collector of the emitter follower unit, so that the constant current is fed from the emitter of the emitter follower unit into the constant current unit.
