Abstract
A switching circuit includes a driver circuit DRVthat outputs voltage for turning on and off a first transistor switch M, positioned at a low potential side with respect to a load, among a plurality of transistor switches disposed in series between an input voltage and a ground; and a control circuit that causes the driver circuit DRVto output a first voltage that turns the first transistor switch Mon upon an output voltage of the driver circuit DRVrising while the first transistor switch Mis off and to cause the driver circuit DRVto suspend output of the first voltage upon the output voltage of the driver circuit DRVdropping after the driver circuit DRVoutputs the first voltage.
