Abstract

A semiconductor circuit according to embodiments includes a circuit that includes the current source and generates the output voltage, and a voltage filter constituted by a depression-type NMOS transistor, the depression-type NMOS transistor having a source connected to a power supply side of the circuit, a gate that is grounded, and a drain to which a power supply voltage is applied. Thereby, a voltage on the power supply side of the circuit that has the current source and generates an output voltage is fixed regardless of an influence of a power supply fluctuation and suppresses a change in circuit characteristics.
