Abstract

There is provided a device inspection circuit capable of measuring currents flowing through a plurality of devices without increasing the cost. A power supply circuit of a box-side inspection circuit includes an operational amplifier and a sense resistor. A power source having a current measuring function, the operational amplifier, the sense resistor and a DUT are connected in series in this order. The power source is connected to a non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier. The power supply circuit further includes a negative feedback channel configured to apply a voltage between the sense resistor and the DUT to an inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier, and a positive feedback channel configured to connect an upstream sense point between the operational amplifier and the sense resistor and the non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier. The positive feedback channel includes a feedback resistor installed therein.
