Abstract

A current detection circuit includes a coil that is constituted by a metal wiring formed on a semiconductor substrate, a resistor that is provided in a position near the coil on the semiconductor substrate, constituted by a metal wiring formed on the semiconductor substrate, which is made of a metal material being same as that of the coil, and arranged so as to prevent any magnetic field from being generated due to a current flowing in the resistor, an output circuit that outputs currents in accordance with a resistance ratio between the coil and the resistor to the coil and the resistor correspondingly through a common terminal, and a detection circuit that detects the current flowing in the resistor to thereby detect the current flowing in the coil.
