PURPOSE: A voltage regulator is provided to reduce a chip area by not using a test circuit. CONSTITUTION: A reference voltage circuit(103) outputs a reference voltage. A differential amplification circuit(104) compares the reference voltage and a voltage based on an output voltage. The differential amplification circuit controls a gate voltage of an output transistor(105). An overcurrent protection circuit(107) limits a current of the output transistor by detecting an overcurrent on the output transistor. [Reference numerals] (107) Overcurrent protection circuit |
