Abstract:
A drive circuit includes a first level shift circuit, a second level shift circuit, a pre-driver, and a high-side transistor. The first level shift circuit outputs a first switch signal. The second level shift circuit outputs a second switch signal. The pre-driver includes a first switch portion configured to perform switching in accordance with the first switch signal and a second switch portion configured to output a gate signal in accordance with the second switch signal. The high-side transistor outputs a high-side output signal to an output terminal with a second power supply voltage which is fed in accordance with the gate signal.
