Abstract
During an ON period of a high breakdown voltage switch provided within an ON period of a semiconductor switching element, a detection circuit outputs to a predetermined node a voltage obtained by dividing an inter-terminal voltage by a plurality of resistor elements. A voltage comparison circuit outputs a detection signal indicating whether or not the inter-terminal voltage is greater than a predetermined determination voltage based on a comparison between the voltage of the predetermined node and a predetermined DC voltage. The high breakdown voltage switch has a breakdown voltage greater than a potential difference between a high potential and a low potential during an OFF period.
