Abstract:
According to an embodiment, a current detection circuit includes a transistor, an operational amplifier, and a transistor. In the transistor, the source and the gate are coupled to the source and the gate of a transistor which is provided on a high side of a drive circuit. The operational amplifier amplifies a potential difference between a drain voltage of the transistor and a drain voltage of the transistor. The transistor is provided over a current path through which a current flowing to the transistor flows, and which has the gate to which an output voltage of the operational amplifier is supplied. A value of the current flowing through the transistor is detected based on a value of the current flowing through the transistor.
