Zusammenfassung:An electronic device includes: a detection circuit to detect a voltage difference between both ends of a wiring portion which is at least a portion of a power supply wiring that connects a power supply circuit and a receiver circuit; a current supply circuit to supply a pilot current having a first current value which is smaller than a second current value of a main current to the power supply wiring; and a control circuit to control supply of the pilot current and stop of the supply of the pilot current, to calculate a wiring resistance value of the wiring portion based on a first value of the voltage difference when the supply is stopped, a second value of the voltage difference when the pilot current is supplied, and the first current value and to calculate the second current value based on the first value and the wiring resistance value.
