Abstract

An ON holding circuit is provided which outputs a signal which identifies an ON state of an insulated gate transistor to a gate voltage input circuit, and inhibits the gate voltage input circuit from being responsive to an input signal which identifies an OFF state of the insulated gate transistor when an overcurrent adjusting circuit operates continuously.
