Abstract
In one embodiment, electronic circuitry includes a current output circuit configured to output a drive current to a switching element, a first detection circuit configured to detect a timing at which a voltage between output terminals of the switching element, and a control circuit configured to cause the current output circuit to start outputting a first drive current in accordance with a command signal that instructs switching operation of the switching element. The control circuit switches the drive current output from the current output circuit to a second drive current smaller than the first drive current based on the timing at which the voltage between the output terminals, the timing being detected by the first detection circuit.
