Abstract
A semiconductor switching device includes a row of a plurality of switching elements connected in series. The input terminal of the input-nearest switching element and the output terminal of the output-nearest switching element are connected with the input terminal and output terminal of the semiconductor switching device, respectively. A control signal is applied to the control terminal of the output-nearest switching element. The semiconductor switching device comprises a first plurality of capacitive elements each of which is connected between the output terminal of the output-nearer switching element and the control terminal of the input-nearer switching element of the adjacent switching elements among the switching element row; and a second capacitive element connected between the output terminal and input terminal of the input-nearest switching element. At least the switching elements (S.sub.2 -S.sub.n) have insulating gates, respectively.
