Abstract
Provided is a voltage regulator capable of keeping the accuracy of an output voltage thereof even at high temperature. The voltage regulator includes: a reference voltage circuit configured to output a reference voltage; an output transistor configured to output an output voltage; a voltage divider circuit configured to divide the output voltage to output a divided voltage; an error amplifier circuit configured to amplify a difference between the reference voltage and the divided voltage, and output the amplified difference to control a gate of the output transistor; a switching circuit configured to switch the divided voltage of the voltage divider circuit; and a temperature detection circuit configured to output a signal in accordance with temperature to control the switching circuit.
