A surge detection circuit for determining that the characteristics of an internal circuitry of a chip have deteriorated by surges applied from a sensor to the chip and generating a warning signal. The surge detection circuit is connected to an input terminal and includes a surge detector for detecting surge applied to the input terminal and generating an output signal showing the detection result. A determination unit determines that the characteristics of the input circuit have deteriorated based on the output signal of the surge detector and generates a warning signal based on the determination result.
