<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent damage of a microcomputer in the case that the load current is too large or too small, and to easily determine whether current measurement is being executed correctly or not while measuring the current. <P>SOLUTION: The measurement current bypassed by a shunt resistor 11 is measured by the voltage drop of an output resistor 15, and outputted to a microcomputer 13. An upper limiter circuit 17 for setting the upper limit value, and a lower limiter circuit 19 for setting the lower limit value to the output voltage Vout from the output resistance 15 to the microcomputer 13 are provided, and the output to the microcomputer 13 is prevented from being too large or too small. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
