A digital/analog converter converts an input digital signal to an analog signal and outputs the analog signal. The digital/analog converter has first and second transistors that are complementarily switched by a first digital signal included in the digital signal. The digital/analog converter has a first current source having a first end connected to a first potential, and having a second end connected to a first end of the first transistor and a first end of the second transistor, to output a constant current. The digital/analog converter has a third transistor having a first end connected to a second end of the first transistor. The digital/analog converter has a fourth transistor having a first end connected to a second end of the second transistor. The digital/analog converter has a first output terminal connected to a second end of the third transistor to output a first analog signal. The digital/analog converter has a control circuit that controls gate voltages of the third transistor and the fourth transistor according to the digital signal such that the third transistor and the fourth transistor operate in a saturation region.
