Original Abstract Submitted
A signal generation circuit of the present disclosure includes: a current source that is configured to flow a current from a first power supply node to a first node; a first capacitor that has one end coupled to the first node and another end coupled to a second node; an operation amplifier circuit that has a positive input terminal, a negative input terminal coupled to the second node, and an output terminal coupled to an output node; a first switch that has one end coupled to the second node and another end coupled to the output node; a second capacitor that has one end coupled to the first node and another end coupled to the output node; a first resistor that is provided in a first path that couples the first node and a second power supply node; and a second switch that is provided in the first path and is configured to turn on and off the first path.
