Abstract
A semiconductor apparatus according to aspects of the invention includes a power MOSFET including a main MOSFET and sensing MOSFET's. The main MOSFET and the sensing MOSFET's are formed on a semiconductor substrate, and a sensing MOSFET is selected for changing the sensing ratio and further for confining the sensing ratio variations within a certain narrow range stably from a low main current range to a high main current range. A semiconductor apparatus according to aspects of the invention facilitates reducing the manufacturing costs thereof, obviating the cumbersomeness caused in the use thereof, and confining the sensing ratio variations within a certain narrow range stably.
