Abstract
A semiconductor device for power supply control includes an on/off control signal generation circuit which generates a control signal to turn on or off the switching element, a high-voltage input start terminal to which alternating-current voltage of AC input or voltage rectified in a diode bridge is input, a high-voltage input monitoring circuit connected to the high-voltage input start terminal and monitoring voltage of the high-voltage input start terminal, and a discharging unit connected between the high-voltage input start terminal and a ground point. When the high-voltage input monitoring circuit detects that a time for which the voltage of the high-voltage input start terminal is not lower than a predetermined voltage value for a predetermined period, the discharging unit is turned on.
