ABSTRACT:
A current mirror circuit including: a first resistance element having one terminal connected to a first potential, and the other terminal connected to a second potential lower than the first potential; an operational amplifier having a high-potential input terminal connected to the first potential and the one terminal of the first resistance element; a second resistance element having one terminal connected to a low-potential input terminal of the operational amplifier, and the other terminal connected to the second potential; and a transistor having a first electrode connected to an output terminal of the operational amplifier, a second electrode connected to the low-potential input terminal of the operational amplifier and the one terminal of the second resistance element, and a third electrode used as an output terminal, wherein the first and second resistance elements both start to operate from a linear area having lower voltage than a saturation area.
