A CBCM circuit is capable of separately measuring each component of a
measuring target capacitance. A node (N1) is electrically connected to a
terminal (P2) between the drains of PMOS and NMOS transistors (MP2, MN2).
As a target capacitance forming part, a coupling capacitance (C.sub.c) is
formed between the node (N1) and a node (N2). The node (N2) is connected
to a pad (58) through the terminal (P2) and an NMOS transistor (MN3), and
a node (N3) is connected to a terminal (P3) between the drains of PMOS
and NMOS transistors (MP1, MN1). A reference capacitance (C.sub.ref) is
formed at the node (N3) as a dummy capacitance. Currents (I.sub.r,
I.sub.t) supplied from a power source to the nodes (N3, N1) are measured
with current meters (61, 62), respectively and a current (I.sub.m)
induced from the node (N2) and flowing to a ground level is measured with
a current meter (63).
