PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To decrease the area occupied by a circuit by providing a transistor between the output and a voltage compactor means, decreasing the maximum voltage at a coupling point, and thereby reducing the number of high-voltage parts. SOLUTION: A transistor DMOS1 withstands high voltage, and a circuit connected to the downstream side is at low voltage. The transistor DMOS1 is the only one high-voltage part used. The gate terminal of the transistor DMOS1 is connected to a low supply voltage Vdd. When a voltage Vs at a coupling point S is larger than the voltage value Vs- max, the transistor DMOS1 is cut off. The voltage value Vs- max is imparted by the expression Vs- max= Vdd-Vth, where Vth is the threshold value of the transistor DMOS1. When the Vout of the output OUT is lower than the value, at which the low-voltage device can withstand, the intended measurement is performed at the coupling point S having the voltage equal to the voltage Vout. A low-voltage comparator CDT finds the voltage range at the coupling point S.
