Abstract
A hysteresis circuit has a comparator which compares a threshold voltage and an input voltage. The threshold voltage is supplied from a voltage dividing circuit having resistors. A constant current circuit is connected to a voltage divided point of the voltage dividing circuit through a switch. The ON and OFF of the switch is controlled by an output of the comparator. When the switch is turned ON, a constant current flows to the voltage divided point, so that the value of the threshold voltage supplied from the voltage dividing circuit to the comparator is changed.
