Abstract

A signal processing circuit of the present invention includes: first and second input terminals; an output terminal; a bootstrap capacitor; a first output section connected to the second input terminal and the output terminal; a second output section connected to the first input terminal, a first power source, and the output terminal; and an electric charge control section for controlling the electric charge of the bootstrap capacitor, the electric charge control section being connected to the first input terminal, the electric charge control section and the first output section being connected to each other via a relay section for either electrically connecting the electric charge control section and the first output section to each other or electrically blocking the electric charge control section and the first output section from each other, the electric charge control section including a resistor connected to a second power source. This configuration can increase reliability of a bootstrap-type signal processing circuit.
