There are provided an inductive load current control circuit for detecting
and controlling a current flowing to an inductive load with high
accuracy, and a power supply.The inductive load current control circuit
includes first and second switch elements connected in series between an
input voltage and a ground potential, an inductive load connected to a
connection point between the first and second switch elements, a third
switch element having one terminal connected to the connection point
between the first and second switch elements, a current comparator
connected to another terminal of the third switch element to compare an
output current of the third switch element with a reference current,
decide and output a magnitude relation, and a switch element control
circuit that controls transition from a state in which the second switch
element is turned on to a state in which the first switch element is
turned on according to an output of the current comparator.
