Abstract
A corrosion detection circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an insulating board; a test chip having a corrodible metal, mounted on the surface of the insulating board; a plurality of resistors each having a higher resistance value than the test chip after a change due to an environment including contact with the test chip and the adhesion of dust to the test chip; and a voltage detection circuit for detecting the output voltage of a divided voltage output point, when a voltage is applied to the test chip and a voltage dividing circuit using the plurality of resistors. The voltage detection circuit detects a break in the test chip by corrosion based on a variation in the output voltage.
