An automatic time constant adjustment circuit has an error detection circuit and a variable time constant circuit. The error detection circuit detects, based on the resistance of an error reference resistor and the capacitance of an error reference capacitor provided therein, a resistance/capacitance error resulting from a variation attributable to an IC process, and then outputs a control signal corresponding to the resistance/capacitance error. The variable time constant circuit includes a resistance portion, a capacitance portion, and a switch portion. The resistance portion is build with one or more resistors. The capacitance portion is build with one or more capacitors. The switch portion sets the time constant of the variable time constant circuit according to the resistance/capacitance error by connecting together one of the resistors of the resistor portion and one of the capacitors of the capacitor portion according to the control signal.
