Problems solved by technology

In addition, in the case of a FET using a p-type region or a Schottky electrode for the gate, in a stable ON operation state, only the gate current of the VGS voltage for driving the drain current or the gate current for driving the collector is required. The base current of the current, when the constant voltage circuit of the above-mentioned switching device driving device operates, the gate current flowing into the switching device gate terminal becomes an unnecessary power loss in the switching device and the switching device driving device
This is also the case when bipolar transistors are used for switching devices

Abstract

The invention provides a switching device driving unit that, even in a case where a threshold voltage of a switching device is varied, can suppress variations in switching speed, and prevent a power loss caused by an unnecessary gate current in a constant ON operation state of the switching device, so that a desired slew rate can be easily set. A control current source circuit (21) sets to different values based on a first input driving signal (UD), in a driving current to be source-outputted to a gate or a base of the switching device (11), a current (I1+I2) in a stage of an initial ON operation of a switching operation of the switching device and a current (I1) in a stage after completion of the switching operation.
