    摘要: A DC/DC converter is able to test an overcurrent detection circuit without damaging the circuit. The DC/DC converter includes: a high-side switch; an IV conversion element and a current detection transistor which are connected in parallel with the high-side switch; a low-side switch; an overcurrent detection circuit; and a control circuit which outputs a first signal from a first output port to the high-side switch, outputs a second signal from the second output port to the low-side switch, and outputs a third signal from a third output port to the current detection transistor. The DC/DC converter further includes a test port which controls the current detection transistor to be turned off in the case of testing the overcurrent detection circuit, and supplies a variable current to a connection point between the current detection transistor which is controlled to be turned off and the IV conversion element.
