Abstract
A current detection circuit has a differential amplification circuit that outputs a differential output current dependent on a voltage difference between input terminals and first and second feedback circuits that output a detection current in response to the differential output current and form a feedback path to each input terminal of the differential amplification circuit. First and second MOS transistors that generate voltages dependent on respective source-drain voltages at a time when drain currents in a forward direction and a backward direction flow through an output MOS transistor are connected to respective input terminals of the differential amplification circuit.
