N (n is a natural number) power converters operate in accordance with a drive signal to generate a power to be supplied to a load. Multi-redundant A/D converters convert an analog detection value from the power converters into digital values. First and second controllers operate in parallel and each generate a drive signal of the power converters using the digital values from the A/D converters. A system selector selects one controller in accordance with an abnormality detection result of the first and second controllers. Each of n output selectors receives the drive signals from both of the first and second controllers and outputs the drive signal from the one controller selected by the system selector to the power converters.

An object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic sensor that can reduce influences of a disturbance magnetic field while ensuring high detection sensitivity. The magnetic sensor includes a sensor chiphaving an element formation surfaceS on which magnetic detection elements MR, MRare formed, a first magnetic memberplaced on the element formation surfaceS and having a first height Has a height from the element formation surfaceS, and a second magnetic memberlocated on an opposite side of the magnetic detection elements MR, MRto the first magnetic memberand having a second height Hlower than the first height H. According to the present invention, because the height Hof the second magnetic memberis lower than that of the first magnetic member, a detection magnetic field attracted to the second magnetic membercan be reduced while a disturbance magnetic field is shielded by the second magnetic member. Accordingly, influences of the disturbance magnetic field can be reduced while high detection sensitivity is ensured.
