Abstract

A short-circuit and overcurrent detecting circuit includes a reference voltage circuit including a constant current circuit, a first impedance element, a first transistor having a resistance value depending a voltage of a secondary battery, a second impedance element, and a second transistor having a resistance value depending the voltage of the secondary battery, which are connected in series. The reference voltage circuit outputs a first reference voltage from a node of the constant current circuit and the first impedance element, and outputs a second reference voltage from a node of the first transistor and the second impedance element. The short-circuit and overcurrent detecting circuit further includes: a first comparator circuit for comparing a voltage of an overcurrent detecting terminal with the first reference voltage; and a second comparator circuit for comparing the voltage of the overcurrent detecting terminal with the second reference voltage.
