Abstract
A current output circuit includes an input circuit that outputs a second current in response to a first current when the first current is inputted, an output circuit that outputs a third current in response to the second current, and a control circuit that causes the output circuit to output a current when a control signal is inputted before the first current is inputted to the input circuit. The output circuit includes transistors of a first group and the input circuit includes transistors of a second group.
