Claim Text:
1. A D/A conversion circuit comprising: a plurality of resistors that are connected to each other in series; and a plurality of MOS transistors that are connected to terminals of the plurality of resistors, respectively, wherein the plurality of resistors and the plurality of MOS transistors are formed on a semiconductor substrate, wherein the plurality of resistors are constituted by a resistive element and a plurality of contacts provided in the resistive element, and wherein the plurality of MOS transistors are disposed so that a plurality of virtual straight lines that pass through each of the plurality of contacts and are perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the resistive element pass between gate electrodes of two adjacent MOS transistors, when seen in a plan view of the semiconductor substrate.
