Abstract
A drive circuit for driving a first drive element having a first terminal and a second terminal and driving a second drive element having a third terminal and a fourth terminal, includes a first drive signal output circuit that is electrically coupled to the first terminal and outputs a first drive signal, a second drive signal output circuit that is electrically coupled to the third terminal and outputs a second drive signal, a reference voltage signal output circuit that outputs a reference voltage signal having a constant reference voltage value, and a first switch circuit having one end electrically coupled to an output terminal of the reference voltage signal output circuit and the other end electrically coupled to the second terminal and the fourth terminal. The first switch circuit switches whether or not to supply a second constant voltage signal to the second terminal and the fourth terminal.
