Abstract: A resistor array is provided in an element array. A mean value of a characteristic-value distribution is associated with a median of combined resistance values obtained by the element array. An array of trimming information pieces corresponding to combined resistance values larger than the median is set in a descending order of ‘15’ to ‘8’ in decimal number, and an array of trimming information pieces corresponding to combined resistance values less than the median is set in an ascending order of ‘0’ to ‘7’ in decimal number. A circuit converts trimming information derived from the trimming information generation circuit to generate element selection information for selecting turn-off resistors to obtain combined resistance values from the resistor array. Thus, the number of melted-and-cut fuses involved in generation of trimming information associated within the range of “mean value±2?” in the distribution is reduced.
