<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that a conventional constant current generation circuit cannot sufficiently control a coefficient of fluctuation in a constant current due to a temperature fluctuation. <P>SOLUTION: A constant current generation circuit in the invention comprises: a temperature fluctuating voltage generation part 10 that generates a first fluctuating voltage Vf whose voltage value fluctuates with temperature; a fluctuation gradient adjustment part 12 that generates a second fluctuating voltage Vrefc based on both a reference voltage Vconst, which fluctuates with temperature on a smaller scale than the first fluctuating voltage Vf, and the first fluctuating voltage Vf; a current generation part 13 that includes a current setting resistance Ri whose resistance value fluctuates with temperature, and generates an output current based on both the second fluctuating voltage Vrefc and the current setting resistance Ri. The fluctuation gradient adjustment part 12 sets a rate at which the second fluctuating voltage Vrefc fluctuates with temperature so that a difference from a rate at which the resistance value of the current setting resistance Ri fluctuates with temperature falls within a predetermined first specified range. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
