Abstract
A first MOSFET, a second MOSFET, a first control circuit, and a second control circuit are provided; the second MOSFET is in a non-rectification period when the first MOSFET is in a rectification period; the first MOSFET is in a non-rectification period when the second MOSFET is in a rectification period; the first control circuit outputs a voltage generated on the basis of a first input voltage as a first output voltage between the gate and the source of the first MOSFET in at least a portion of a period in which a voltage between the drain and the source of the second MOSFET is inputted as the first input voltage and a negative voltage is applied between the drain and the source of the first MOSFET; the second control circuit outputs a voltage generated on the basis of a second input voltage as a second output voltage between the gate and the source of the second MOSFET in at least a portion of a period in which a voltage between the drain and the source of the first MOSFET is inputted as the second input voltage and a negative voltage is applied between the drain and the source of the second MOSFET.
