Current detection circuit and semiconductor integrated circuit
Abstract:
The invention provides a current detection circuit for a transistor, that does not influence a current flowing through the transistor, and minimizes a power loss, an increase of the pattern area and so on. A current detection circuit includes a wiring connected to a MOS transistor and forming a current path of a current of the MOS transistor, a current detection MOS transistor of which the gate is connected to the wiring, that flows a current corresponding to the potential of the gate, and a current detector detecting a current flowing through the current detection MOS transistor. The current detection circuit is configured including a load resistor connected to the current detection MOS transistor and a voltage detection circuit detecting a drain voltage of the current detection MOS transistor.
