ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor unit for protecting a secondary battery has a current detecting terminal converting a charging current to a negative voltage with respect to a negative electrode potential (ground potential) of the secondary battery when the secondary battery is charged, converting the charging current to a positive voltage with respect to the negative electrode potential (ground potential) of the secondary battery when the secondary battery is discharged, and detecting the charging/discharging current; and a test signal generating circuit generating a first test signal when the voltage of the current detecting terminal lowers to a first negative voltage which does not occur in a normal operation state of the semiconductor unit, and generating a second test signal when the voltage of the current detecting terminal lowers to a second negative voltage lower than the first negative voltage.
