This invention provides a semiconductor integrated circuit for drive and a module for building a synchronous rectifier type switching regulator that is able to correctly detect and prevent a reverse current flowing through a coil (inductance element) during light load using a comparator and has a good power efficiency. In a synchronous rectifier type switching regulator including a reverse current detection circuit that is able to detect a state in which a reverse current flows through the inductance element (coil) and a reverse current prevention function, a switching element for synchronous rectification is formed by a plurality of parallel transistors and the transistors are controlled so that a part of them are not driven during light load.
