Abstract
A determining circuit comprises an input section having a P-channel type MOS transistor applied with a voltage VT set based on a reference voltage applied to a gate electrode and a voltage according to a voltage of a terminal applied to a source electrode, and an output section with a voltage level that changes according to an output from a drain electrode of a P-channel-type MOS transistor of a voltage level that changes according to a further voltage. With this configuration, the determining circuit for determining switching over to a prescribed mode can be implemented which is not influenced by fluctuations in process factors by using the voltage outputted from the output section.
