A constant current circuit includes a first current mirror composed of a
first transistor formed on a first current path and a second transistor
formed on a second current path, a second current mirror composed of a
third transistor formed on the first current path and a fourth transistor
formed on the second current path, a first diode formed on the first
current path, a second diode formed on the second current path, a
resistor formed on the second current path, a variable resistance element
connected with the first current path and with the second current path,
and a feedback unit to control a resistance value of the variable
resistance element based on a current flowing through the second current
path.
