A voltage divider circuit is connected between the output terminals of a constant-voltage power supply outputting a constant voltage. A constant-current source varies linearly, relative to temperature, the current level flowing to or from the voltage divider junction of the voltage divider circuit. The constant-current source comprises a first transistor and a second transistor connected to a current mirror circuit, and a resistor connected between the ground and the emitter of the second transistor. The base of the current extracting transistor is connected to the bases of the first transistor and the second transistor, and the collector and emitter are connected between the respective voltage divider junction and ground to obtain a current from the voltage divider junction. A current proportional to temperatures and inversely proportional to the value of the resistor can thereby be obtained from the voltage divider junction.
