A semiconductor integrated circuit device includes a reference voltage generating circuit that can be tuned without a circuit replacement when a process condition is varied. The reference voltage generating circuit is constituted such that two different circuit configurations having different temperature properties are switched by a first switch. In each of the circuit configurations, a switch control circuit in which tuning can be performed by switching a second switch generates a control signal based on a test mode and supplies the signal to the first switch for tuning. Thereafter, a fuse in the switch control circuit is blown off to generate a control signal, and reference voltage Vref is output.
