Abstract
According to an embodiment, a switching device includes: a switching control unit that connects a first resistor between an input terminal for receiving the switching signal and a gate of a switching transistor during a first period that is an anterior half of a turn-off period of the switching transistor, and connects a second resistor between the input terminal and the gate during a second period that is a posterior half of the turn-off period; a calculating unit that calculates a first gate resistance based on a target voltage rising rate and a first operational expression, and that calculates a second gate resistance based on the permissible maximum voltage value and a second operational expression; and a resistance setting unit that sets resistances of the first resistor and the second resistor based on the first gate resistance and the second gate resistance.
