Abstract

A substrate electric potential stabilization circuit is configured to be connected to a bidirectional switch element including a first main electrode, a second main electrode, and a backside electrode. The stabilization circuit includes a first switch connected to the first main electrode and the backside electrode in series between the first main electrode and the backside electrode, a second switch connected to the second main electrode and the backside electrode in series between the second main electrode and the backside electrode, and a through-current prevention circuit configured to prevent the first switch and the second switch from being turned on simultaneously. The substrate electric potential stabilization circuit prevents a through-current flowing in this circuit.
