  • Publication number: 20240295894
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a voltage generation circuit includes a voltage dividing circuit, a first current path, a second current path, a first output terminal, a second output terminal, and a switching circuit. The first current path is in parallel with the voltage dividing circuit between a first node connected to a power source line and a second node. The second current path is in parallel with the voltage dividing circuit between a third node and a fourth node. The first output terminal is connected to the second node. The second output terminal is connected to the third node. The switching circuit is configured to switch connection of the first current path and the second current path. The first node, the second node, the third node, and the fourth node are connected in series in the voltage dividing circuit.
