Abstract
A semiconductor circuit according to the present embodiment comprises a driving circuit, a determining circuit, and a control circuit. The driving circuit includes a first switching element, a second switching element, a third switching element, and a fourth switching element. The comparing circuit compares a potential of the one terminal of the load or a potential of the other terminal of the load. The determining circuit determines, based on output of the comparing circuit, either one or both of a state of the load and a state of the driving circuit. The control circuit controls the driving circuit.
