Publication number: 20150188436Abstract: The present invention is directed to prevent occurrence of a problem on a withstand voltage in a circuit group which receives supply of an internal power supply voltage. An error amplifier outputs a control voltage obtained by amplifying a difference voltage between a reference voltage and a divided voltage obtained by dividing an internal power supply voltage to an output node. A drive transistor supplies a drive current according to the control voltage of the output node of the error amplifier from an external power supply line to an internal power supply line.
