Abstract: A constant voltage circuit amplifies an error between a reference voltage and an output voltage by an operational amplifier, and controls a load current based on the amplified voltage so that the output voltage becomes a constant voltage. The constant voltage circuit includes voltage detector means that detects only AC components of the output voltage limited to a predetermined band and outputs a detected voltage; voltage amplifier means that amplifies AC components of the detected voltage and outputs an amplified voltage; judgment means that outputs a judgment signal indicating whether or not the amplified voltage equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold; and controller means configured to increase a current value of the constant current source included in the operational amplifier, based on the judgment signal, thereby temporarily increasing a current consumption of the operational amplifier.
