Abstract

See full text

A control circuit includes: a first switching device that includes a source, a gate, and a drain; a negative voltage generating circuit that generates, from a pulse width modulation signal that controls the gate of the first switching device, a negative potential voltage which is equal to or smaller than a threshold of the first switching device; a gate control circuit that outputs a signal obtained by shifting a level of the pulse width modulation signal by an amount equal to the negative potential voltage to the gate of the first switching device; a second switching device that is disposed on a side of the drain of the first switching device; and a negative voltage detecting circuit that outputs a signal for turning ON the second switching device upon detecting that the negative potential voltage generated by the negative voltage generating circuit has reached a predetermined negative potential.
