Abstract
A semiconductor integrated circuit for a regulator includes the following: a voltage controlling transistor; a controlling circuit; a first and second transistor; a first external terminal to connect a current voltage converting element; a first and second voltage comparing circuit which compares a converted voltage with a predetermined comparison voltage and determines which is large or small; and a first and second output terminal which externally outputs a result of comparison by the first and second voltage comparing circuit, respectively. When a current larger than a predetermined open-circuit abnormality detecting current value flows in the first transistor, output of the first voltage comparing circuit is inverted. When a current larger than a predetermined short-circuit abnormality detecting current value flows in the second transistor, output of the second voltage comparing circuit is inverted.
