A current inputted from a first input terminal and a reference current
generated by an internal reference current generator circuit, which are
in phase, are inputted to a reference current selector circuit by which
either the inputted current or the reference current is selected. The
selected current is temporarily phase-inverted by a current inverter
circuit and drives a current mirror circuit of a current distributor
circuit (or a reference current regulator circuit) for duplicating the
reference current and distributing them. Currents, each of which is in
phase with the reference current or the inputted current and has same
current value as that of the reference current or the inputted current,
can be generated in the output side transistors of the current mirror
circuit. In order to realize this, a second output side transistor is
provided in the current mirror circuit so that a current, which is in
phase with the reference current and has substantially equal value to
that of the selected current, is supplied from the output terminal to a
next stage integrated circuit as an input reference current.
