<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a current detection apparatus for detecting a current by using a resistance consisting of a bonding wire between a reference terminal and a detection terminal in order to improve substantial saving of a chip area and current detection accuracy by using the bonding wire. Ž<P>SOLUTION: The current detection apparatus including a current detection circuit, a voltage regulation power supply circuit, and a package carrier is disclosed. The current detection circuit has a reference terminal and a detection terminal. The voltage regulation power supply circuit is used for generating an output voltage, and has a current transmission terminal for transmitting a current. The package carrier is used for holding the current detection circuit, the voltage regulation power supply circuit, a reference pad, and a current transmission pad. The package carrier has at least one common voltage lead. The current transmission pad is coupled with the reference pad via at least one bonding wire such that an equivalent resistance is formed on the coupling path between the current transmission pad and the reference pad.
