A current flowing through a measuring target coil increases when a pulse
signal is high. A voltage corresponding to instantaneous value of the
current through the coil is input to input terminal. A blanking signal
generator circuit generates signal which has predetermined pulse width
and rises in synchronization with rise of the pulse signal. During period
in which this signal is high, first switch becomes ON and first capacitor
holds the voltage at the input terminal. A second switch becomes ON when
first switch becomes OFF to connect second capacitor to connection node
between resistors, and disconnects second capacitor from connection node
when the pulse signal becomes low. Second capacitor is charged with
voltage corresponding to average value of an amount of increase in the
current through the coil. A voltage obtained by adding the voltage
charged in first capacitor to this charged voltage is supplied to third
capacitor.
