Abstract
When an output voltage detected by an output voltage detecting circuit is higher than the output voltage under normal operating condition, and lower than a predetermined value which was set to be not more than a value at which a current begins to flow from a collector to a base of a transistor, a dropper-type stabilized power circuit outputs a controlling signal which conducts a compensating resistance switch by a switch driving circuit. This makes a high-temperature-leak compensating resistance ready to function. While, when the voltage of an output terminal OUT rises to be not less than the predetermined value, a controlling signal which does not conduct the compensating resistance switch by the switch driving circuit is outputted so that the current does not flow to the high-temperature-leak compensating resistance.
