Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a drive circuit capable of supplying a more stable gate signal to a gate of a high-end transistor and stably outputting a high-voltage side output signal for driving a load device. The drive circuit 1 includes a first level shift circuit 11, a second level shift circuit 21, a pre-driver 51, and a high-end transistor 61. The first level shift circuit 11outputs a first switch signal. The second level shift circuit 21 outputs a second switch signal. The pre-driver 51 includes a first switch portion Sw1 configured to perform switching in accordance with the first switch signal and a second switch portion Sw2 configured to output a gate signal G1 in accordance with the second switch signal. The high-end transistor 61 outputs a high-side output signal to an output terminal Vout with a second power supply voltage HVss which is fed in accordance with the gate signal G1.

Description

[0001] Related application: This application enjoys the priority of the basic application based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2017-181532 (filing date: September 21, 2017). This application includes the entire content of the basic application by referring to this basic application. technical field [0002] Embodiments of the present invention relate to a driving circuit. Background technique [0003] Conventionally, an internal floating power supply provided in a drive circuit for driving a load device is sometimes constituted by a source follower circuit in order to suppress the influence of noise generated by switching. When the size of the transistor is increased to improve the power supply capability of the source follower circuit, the amount of current between the drain and the source may change due to the parasitic capacitance generated between the gate and the drain, so that the n-type DMOS, etc. The driving voltage of the gate of the high-side transistor consti...
