Abstract
A switching circuit device has a first transistor which has a drain coupled to a high-potential terminal, a source coupled to a low-potential power supply, and, a driving circuit, which outputs, to a gate of the first transistor in response to an input control signal, a pulse having a potential higher than a threshold voltage of the first transistor and a potential of the low-potential power supply, wherein the driving circuit has a first inverter including a second transistor provided between the gate and the source of the first transistor, wherein when the first transistor changes from on to off due to the pulse, the second transistor conducts and short-circuits the gate and the source of the first transistor.
