Abstract
A semiconductor apparatus includes: a switch circuit connected between a first power supply terminal and an output terminal; a switching element connected between the output terminal and a second power supply terminal; and a control circuit that, when a predetermined period has elapsed since the entry of the switch circuit into an ON state in response to an enable signal, causes the switching element to start a switching operation to increase a power supply voltage supplied between the first power supply terminal and the second power supply terminal.
