ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor integrated circuit device includes an output transistor, an overcurrent detection circuit and overcurrent limitation circuit. The overcurrent detection circuit includes a first transistor detecting an overcurrent of the output transistor. The overcurrent limitation circuit is connected between a gate and a source of the output transistor. The overcurrent limitation circuit includes a plurality of resistance elements and a diode connected in series between the gate and the source of the output transistor in series, and a second transistor whose gate is connected to a connection point between the resistance elements and that is cascade connected to the first transistor.
