Abstract
A rectifying circuit includes a HEMT, a diode connected in antiparallel to the HEMT; and a gate drive circuit, wherein the gate drive circuit includes a gate drive power supply, a first transistor, a second transistor configured to turn on in a complementary manner with the first transistor, a first capacitor including an input capacitance of the HEMT, a second capacitor provided on a pathway configured to charge the input capacitance, a first resistor connected in parallel to the first capacitor, and a second resistor connected in parallel to the second capacitor, the gate drive circuit is configured to control a gate voltage of the HEMT to make the gate voltage lower than a source voltage of the HEMT when the HEMT is turned off.
