A reference current circuit includes a differential amplifier amplifying a
difference in potential between a reference voltage and a first node and
outputting the amplified potential difference to a second node, and
adjusting transistors connected between a supply voltage and the first
node. The reference current circuit further includes switches provided
correspondingly to the adjusting transistors to apply a voltage of the
second node to control electrodes of the adjusting transistors in
response to control signals that are respectively input to the switches.
The reference current circuit further includes a resistance connected
between the first node and a common potential, and an output transistor
having its conduction state responsive to the voltage of the second node
for controlling a current supplied from the supply voltage to a load.
