A power supply control device includes a first semiconductor switch and a second semiconductor switch, which are switched on if the voltage at the gate is at least an ON-threshold, and they are switched off if the voltage at the gate is less than an OFF-threshold. A resistor is connected between the source and the gate of the first semiconductor switch. A diode is connected between gates of the first semiconductor switch and the second semiconductor switch. A driving unit adjusts the voltage at the gate of the second semiconductor switch, switches on and off the first semiconductor switch and the second semiconductor switch, and controls the supply of power via the second semiconductor switch.
