Abstract

See full text

Provided are a control circuit for a switching regulator that can switch off a transistor that drives an inductor at high speed, an integrated circuit device, the switching regulator, an electronic device, and the like. A control circuit (100) includes a signal generation circuit (10) and an output circuit (20). The signal generation circuit (10) generates a control signal (SG) for a switching regulator. Upon receiving the control signal (SG), the output circuit (20) outputs a drive signal (GD) to a gate of an N-type transistor (30) that drives an inductor (40). The output circuit (20) outputs a voltage level lower than a source voltage of the N-type transistor (30) as an off-voltage level of the drive signal (GD) for switching off the N-type transistor (30).
