A semiconductor device includes a high side driver, in which the high side driver has an output transistor configured to supply a power voltage to an output terminal based on a driving voltage applied to a gate electrode of the output transistor; a short circuit transistor configured to couple the gate electrode of the output transistor with the output terminal; and a switch transistor connected in series between the gate electrode of the output transistor and a drain electrode of the short circuit transistor. The switch transistor is controlled by a back gate of the switch transistor.
