Abstract

A power supply control circuit is configured including a MOS-FETconnected between a DC power supplyand a load circuitso that a body diode Dformed between the drain and the source is in a forward direction; and a holding circuitfor maintaining the ON state of the MOS-FETfor a predetermined time when the power supply from the DC power supplyis stopped; where heat generation of the switching element by the surge voltage is suppressed when the surge voltage is generated to prevent breakdown of the switching element while preventing breakdown of internal circuits with respect to reverse connection of the power supply.
