A transistor drive circuit, a constant voltage circuit, and a method
thereof provided with a reference voltage generator, a power voltage
detector, and a plurality of error amplifying circuits. The plurality of
error amplifying circuits have different operational characteristics. One
of the error amplifying circuits is selectively activated in response to
a control signal in accordance with an operational mode selected. A
reference voltage produced by the reference voltage generator or a
divided voltage produced by the power voltage detector is also changed in
response to the control signal suitably for each one of the plurality of
error amplifying circuits which is selectively activated so as to control
the power voltage generated by a power transistor to output a constant
power voltage.
