PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To omit external parts, such as a switching element and a decoupling capacitor, for switching whether an external supply voltage is stepped down by a voltage regulator for outputting or is passed through the voltage regulator for outputting. SOLUTION: In addition to the voltage regulator 34 for stepping down an input voltage Vin for supplying to an internal load circuit 37, a pass switch 35 for supplying an input voltage Vin to the internal load circuit 37 without going through the voltage regulator 34 is built into an IC chip 100. A circuit system for especially increasing response speed to the fluctuation of a load is adopted as the configuration of the voltage regulator 34, thus bypassing noise components, such as even a small capacitance value equal to parasitic capacitance generated in the internal load circuit 37 in the IC chip 100. And the pass switch 35 itself is built into the IC chip 100, thus totally eliminating the external parts of the IC chip 100. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
