When a semiconductor circuit, in which a stabilizing capacitor 2 for stabilizing a reference voltage Vbias is connected to a reference voltage terminal RT, recovers from a power down state to an operational state, a current mirror circuit 40 provides current mirroring of a current Ia of a first current path Ph1, which generates an OFF threshold voltage ref1 of a hysteresis comparator 1, to generate a current Ib of a second current path Ph2, which generates the reference voltage Vbias. The reference voltage Vbias is input to the comparator 1 as an input voltage vin. When the reference voltage Vbias becomes equal to the OFF threshold voltage ref1, the comparator 1 immediately stops the charging of the stabilizing capacitor 2 by a current source I1.
