ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device having a voltage sensing element is disclosed which allows reduction of power consumption in comparison with a conventional device and enables to obtain a sufficient output voltage to secure sensing accuracy even when an input voltage is small. In the voltage sensing element of the semiconductor device, an n.sup.- layer is formed on a front surface of a p.sup.- substrate. A p type diffused region and an n type diffused region are formed at a main surface of n.sup.- layer, spaced apart by a prescribed distance. An electrode is formed on p type diffused region, and an electrode is formed on n type diffused region. An electrode is formed on a rear surface of p.sup.- substrate. P.sup.- substrate and n.sup.- layer constitute a diode in a reversely biased state. As a result, power consumption is reduced in comparison with a conventional voltage dividing resistor circuit.
