Abstract

The present invention provides a ramp generator capable of appropriately setting a rise starting point of an output voltage of a ramp waveform and an output voltage at the time of stable output. A current adjustment unit including a differential pair of transistors and an amplifier constitute a feedback circuit. By controlling the charging/discharging of an integration capacitor by ON/OFF of a discharge current source connected to a common emitter terminal of the current adjustment unit, an output of the ramp waveform outputted from an output terminal disposed at the connection end of the integration capacitor is controlled.
