Abstract

A highly-reliable gate driving circuit achieved by suppressing the amount of hot-carriers generated in a MOSFET. In the gate driving circuit having NOEMI circuits, same-type NOEMI circuits are connected in series with a p-channel MOSFET constituting a gate charging circuit and an n-channel MOSFET constituting a gate discharging circuit, respectively, so as to suppress the amount of hot-carriers generated in the p-channel MOSFET and the n-channel MOSFET.
