A current source apparatus includes a first MOS transistor having a drain serving as current input terminals with the gate connected to the drain, a first switch connected to the source of the first MOS transistor, a second MOS transistor having a drain serving as a current output terminal, a second switch connected to the source of the second MOS transistor, a third switch having one end connected to the gate of the first MOS transistor, and the other end connected to the gate of the second MOS transistor, and a drive circuit which controls the second switch and the third switch.
