In one embodiment, a temperature compensation circuit includes a bias circuit configured to output a bias current having a current value increasing in proportion to an absolute temperature in a low-temperature region, and having a greater current value than the current value proportional to the absolute temperature in a high-temperature region, and a transistor which is supplied with the bias current. The bias circuit includes first to third transistors, a fourth transistor through which a first current flows, a fifth transistor, a sixth transistor through which a second current flows, and a control circuit having a connection terminal capable of being connected with an external resistor for adjusting a magnitude of the second current. The bias circuit generates a third current by adding the first current to the second current, and outputs the bias current that is the third current or a fourth current depending on the third current.
