The object of the present invention is to provide a current detecting
circuit capable of detecting a current flowing to a switching device with
high accuracy, with less power loss, with high voltage, and in an
insulated form.A current detecting circuit of the present invention is
provided with a charge circuit charging to a capacitor through a current
which is proportional to a voltage developed in a choke coil, and a
discharge circuit setting a voltage of the capacitor 0V when the current
flowing to the switching device is 0, so that the voltage of the
capacitor is detected as a value which is proportional to the current
flowing to the switching device.
