Abstract: A reference voltage generation circuit includes a voltage dividing circuit, a transistor, and a capacitor. The voltage dividing circuit divides a power-supply voltage into a specified level to generate a predetermined voltage. The transistor has a gate applied with the predetermined voltage and a drain outputting, as a reference voltage, a voltage obtained by adding the predetermined voltage and a threshold voltage of the transistor. The capacitor bypasses the gate and source of the transistor. Moreover, one end of the capacitor is connected to the gate of the transistor, and the other end of the capacitor is connected to the source of the transistor and ground. Furthermore, an electric charge output source which outputs an electric charge is connected to the drain of the transistor.

Abstract: A control switch is connected to a power supply voltage and turns on based on a control signal to output a current. A clamp circuit is connected to a load and performs clamp control of the output voltage of the control switch. A current control element conducts or shuts off a current based on the output voltage to be clamp-controlled. A selector switch group includes switches, and performs switching based on a voltage varying with the current control by the current control element, thereby switching between paths for generating an internal power supply. The switch circuit connects or disconnects the coupling between the clamp circuit and the selector switch group.
