1. A current supply circuit comprising:
a first circuit configured to generate a first current having a positive dependence with respect to a power supply voltage, the first circuit comprising a first circuit section including a first resistor one terminal of which is connected to the power supply voltage and through which a first-section current flows, a second circuit section including a second resistor one terminal of which is connected to a reference voltage and through which a second-section current flows, and a third circuit section which adds the first-section current and the second-section current to generate said first current having the positive dependence with respect to the power supply voltage;
a second circuit configured to generate a second current greater than the first current; and
a third circuit configured to subtract the first current from the second current to generate a third current having a negative dependence with respect to the power supply voltage.
