Abstract
The present invention is directed to solve a problem that, in the case where NFC and power supply operation of wireless power supply or the like repeat in a time division manner, the count value of a charge timer is reset to an initial value and a charge timer erroneously operates during an NFC period. A charge output terminal charges a battery using DC output voltage. A voltage detecting circuit detects reach of battery voltage to a predetermined level, generates a control signal, and generates a level determination signal discriminating an NFC period and a wireless power supply period by detection of the level of a DC input, voltage of an input terminal. During execution of operation of counting charge time of the battery by the charge timer, the voltage detecting circuit controls the charge timer by the control signal in the NFC period, and the charge timer holds the count value of the counting operation.
