Abstract: The present invention provides a battery voltage measurement system and battery voltage measurement method that may reduce the size of the battery voltage measurement system. A regulator generates a constant voltage based on a battery voltage, and inputs the constant voltage to an analog input terminal of an AID converter. The battery voltage is directly inputted to a reference voltage terminal of the AID converter via a terminal (a pad). The A/D converter uses the battery voltage as a reference voltage, determines the level of the input voltage which is the constant voltage, in respect to the reference voltage, and outputs a conversion result. The conversion results increase with a decrease in the battery voltage. Accordingly, the battery voltage is measured and monitored by a processing section on the basis of the conversion results.
