Abstract:
The present invention maintains the accuracy of a reference current used in a functional circuit. Disclosed is a current generator circuit including a functional circuit and a diagnostic circuit. The functional circuit uses a reference current. The diagnostic circuit diagnoses the reference current in accordance with a comparison result obtained from comparison between the period of a periodic signal generated based on the reference current and the period of a reference clock inputted from the outside.
