A current sensing circuit and a boost converter including the current
sensing circuit are disclosed. The current sensing circuit includes a
switching device, a sensing transistor, and a current sensing amplifier,
and senses the current flowing through the switching device. The current
sensing amplifier maintains a potential of an output terminal of the
switching transistor substantially equal to a potential of an output
terminal of the sensing transistor based on a difference between an
output current of the switching device and an output current of the
sensing transistor. Accordingly, the current sensing circuit accurately
senses the current flowing through the switching device.
