A constant-voltage circuit having an overcurrent protection circuit which includes: a first sense transistor, one main terminal connected to an input terminal of the constant-voltage circuit and a control terminal connected to a control terminal of an output transistor generates a current corresponding to an output current from the output transistor; a voltage level adjusting circuit configured to generate a voltage corresponding to a voltage of a main terminal of the output transistor at an output terminal side of the constant-voltage circuit by extracting a current that is not affected by a change in the output current from the output transistor, and adjust a voltage of another main terminal of the first sense transistor such that the adjusted voltage becomes equal to the generated voltage; and a protection circuit to control a control voltage applied from an error amplifier to the control terminal of the output transistor. |
