Abstract:
A switching element drive circuit of the present invention outputs a voltage to the switching element by use of a voltage output unit configured as an amplifier circuit having a voltage amplification factor of 1 to drive the switching element. When the switching element is turned on, a turn-on voltage having a value higher than a threshold voltage of the switching element and lower than a value of a voltage of a power supply of the switching element drive circuit is provided to the voltage output unit. After elapse of a turn-on voltage maintenance period, a voltage provided to the voltage output unit is switched by a voltage switching unit to the voltage of the power supply of the switching element drive circuit.
