Abstract
A power control semiconductor device includes a voltage control transistor, a control circuit, a bias circuit, and external terminals. The voltage control transistor is connected between a voltage input terminal and an output terminal. The bias circuit generates a voltage that operates the control circuit. Output control signals provided from an outside are input to the external terminals to control an output voltage. The control circuit includes an error amplifier and a logic circuit. The error amplifier outputs a voltage corresponding to a potential difference between a reference voltage and a voltage divided by a voltage divider that divides the output voltage. The logic circuit generates: a signal that changes the divided voltage in accordance with the output control signals; and a signal that stops operation of the bias circuit in response to a combination of the output control signals.
