Abstract
A gate driving circuit of embodiments is provided with a first transistor which controls a gate-on voltage applied to a gate electrode of a switching device, a second transistor which controls a gate-off voltage applied to the gate electrode of the switching device, a driving logic circuit which controls turn-on/turn-off of the first and second transistors, a first power source which supplies the gate-on voltage to the gate electrode when the first transistor is turned on, a second power source which supplies the gate-off voltage to the gate electrode when the second transistor is turned on, a first gate resistance variable circuit in which a plurality of field effect transistors is connected in parallel, a second gate resistance variable circuit in which a plurality of field effect transistors is connected in parallel, and a gate resistance control circuit which controls gate voltages of a plurality of field effect transistors.
