Abstract
This invention aims at providing a temperature characteristic adjustment circuit capable of adjusting the temperature characteristic to various positive and negative temperature characteristics with an excessively small characteristic variation and capable of suppressing an increase in the chip area and the current consumption with a simple circuit configuration. A temperature characteristic adjustment circuit has a current source having a nonvolatile storage element having a control gate region and a source region and driven by the application of a bias between the control gate region and the source region and an output circuit not having a nonvolatile storage element, in which the temperature dependency of an output signal originating from the temperature dependency of the current amount of a current output from the current source is adjusted by the nonvolatile storage element.
