Provided is a position detection circuit for detecting a position of an electronic pen and a position of a passive pointer on a touch surface disposed on a capacitive touch sensor constituted by a plurality of sensor electrodes arranged two-dimensionally, the electronic pen being configured to be capable of transmitting a pen signal, the passive pointer not transmitting any signal, the position detection circuit configured to detect a touch position indicative of the position of the passive pointer, and output the touch position if a size of a region forming the touch position is within a predetermined range, in which, if the electronic pen was in contact with the touch surface and becomes detached therefrom, the output of the touch position is temporarily inhibited.
