Abstract
According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes: a boost circuit configured to apply a first voltage to a gate terminal; a first switching element, a first resistor, and a second resistor that are coupled in parallel between the gate terminal and a source terminal; a second switching element coupled in series with the second resistor between the gate terminal and the source terminal; a switching element control circuit configured to switch, in response to a change of a voltage from the first voltage applied from the boost circuit to the gate terminal to being indeterminate, the first switching element to on state after switching the second switching element to on state. A resistance value of the second resistor is smaller than a resistance value of the first resistor.
