Abstract
A switching element (A) is connected in parallel to a load (L). A switching element (B) is connected between the switching element (A) and a grounding point. The drive circuit () drives the switching element (A). The drive circuit () drives the switching element (B). Upon detecting a load short circuit, a load short circuit detection circuit () outputs a first signal. A timer () outputs a second signal after a lapse of a predetermined time after inputting the first signal. Upon receiving the first signal, the drive circuit () turns ON the switching element (A). Upon receiving the second signal, the drive circuit () turns OFF the switching element (B).
