A semiconductor device, and an electronic module including the semiconductor device, are described. In an example, the semiconductor device includes a first voltage side terminal arranged to be connected to an external first voltage, a second voltage side terminal arranged to be connected to an external second voltage different from the external first voltage, and a terminal which is adjacent to the first voltage side terminal and is arranged to be connected to one terminal of an external resistor. A current distributor is configured to distribute a current to a direct path to the first voltage side terminal and to a loss path to the terminal. A current driver is configured to perform current control of a current including a current between the first voltage side terminal and the second voltage side terminal.
