Abstract

When a tuning mode signal VTUNE is activated, control clock signal TCLK is output, and counter counts up tuning signals TSIG,to TSIG,. Tuning circuits render conductive the terminals of respective transistors, and reference potential Vref lowers in accordance with the reduction in the resistance value. When reference potential Vref attains equal to the external reference potential Ext.Vref, differential amplifier circuit stops output of the control clock signal TCLK In accordance with the plurality of the determined tuning signals TSIG,to TSIG,, fuse elements inside the tuning circuits are programmed.
