Abstract
A voltage regulator includes an output voltage terminal which supplies an output voltage having a preset value, a voltage adjustment terminal which detects the output voltage, an error amplifier which compares the output voltage and a reference voltage to control the output voltage, a phase compensation capacitor, a test circuit which switches a normal mode with a test mode to test the phase compensation capacitor, a switch which makes the phase compensation capacitor valid or invalid, and a constant current source which makes a bias current of the error amplifier in the test mode lower than that in the normal mode.
