Abstract

In a device (101) formed as an invertor, terminals connected to floating source pins (VS) which are provided in control circuits (31 to 33) are limited to output terminals (U, V, W). In order to hold voltages across floating source pins (VD, VS), capacitive elements (51 to 53) which are provided around the device (101) are connected to the output terminals (U, V, W). Thus, the terminals which are connected with the floating source pins (VS) are shared by the output terminals (U, V, W), whereby the numbers of the terminals and wiring patterns are reduced. Thus, the device (101) is miniaturized.
