Abstract
A drive circuit for driving an FET includes a charge pump circuit which comprises multi-stage switching elements, condensers, and inversion buffers, and operates in response to the oscillatory output of an oscillator circuit; and a comparison means for comparing the output voltage of the charge pump circuit with a preset reference voltage to thereby control the oscillation of the oscillator circuit. The charge pump circuit is thus operated intermittently so as to provide a sufficiently large gate voltage to the MOSFET in a stable manner, thereby maintaining a constant output-load characteristic.
