Bidirectional switch and method for driving bidirectional switch

A bidirectional switch comprises a first FET, a second FET, and a switch controller for controlling a conductive state in which current from a bidirectional power supply electrically connected to drain terminals bidirectionally flows, and a nonconductive state in which the current does not flow. In the conductive state, the switch controller applies, to gate terminals of the first FET and the second FET, a voltage higher than a threshold voltage with reference to a potential at a node to which source terminals of the first FET and the second FET are connected. In the nonconductive state, the switch controller causes the bidirectional power supply and each gate terminal to be electrically insulated from each other, and applies a voltage lower than or equal to the threshold voltage with reference to the potential at the node.
