ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor integrated circuit for obtaining constant voltage characteristics or a current switching function by controlling an output current using a current control element has a DC input terminal, a common input/output terminal, and an output terminal. A junction field effect transistor (JFET) is used as a current control element. The first main electrode (drain) and second main electrode (source) of the JFET are connected to the DC current input terminal and the output terminal, respectively. A DC power is input between the DC input terminal and the common input/output terminal. A power between the output terminal and the common input/output terminal is applied to a load. A maximum current of the JFET is limited to a drain maximum saturation current and a current having a value larger that of the maximum saturation current is not basically supplied to the JFET.
