Abstract

Described is a drive circuit of a switching element for controlling a switching element. The drive circuit of a switching element in the present invention includes a power conversion section for converting an alternating current inputted to a direct current; a switching element for switching the direct current of the power conversion section to load; an oscillator for generating a drive signal having rectangular pulse form with a predetermined cycle according to a control signal inputted from outside; a first control signal generator for generating a first control signal each time a drive signal of an oscillator is triggered from a low level to a high level; a second control signal generator for generating a second control signal each time a control signal inputted from outside is triggered from a high level to a low level; and a drive section for switching the switching element to turn-on state according to a first control signal and for switching the switching element to turn-off state according to a second control signal. As the first control signal is generated periodically and successively, precise switching of the switching element can be achieved even when the cycle of switc…
