Abstract
A level shift circuit that outputs a level shift amplification modulation signal obtained by shifting a potential of an amplification modulation signal output by an amplifier circuit is provided, a potential of a first voltage supplied to one end of a first transistor of the amplifier circuit is larger than a potential of a second voltage supplied to a bootstrap circuit which is a reference of a third voltage supplied to one end of a third transistor included in the level shift circuit, and a second gate driver included in the level shift circuit outputs a third gate signal that switches an operation of the third transistor and a fourth gate signal that switches an operation of a fourth transistor, in a period during which a potential of a drive signal is between the potential of the first voltage and the potential of the second voltage.
