Abstract
A switching unit of an embodiment includes a first switching element of normally-on type, a second switching element of normally-off type having a non-reference potential side conductive terminal connected to a reference potential side conductive terminal of the first switching element, a series capacitor connected between a conduction control terminal of the first switching element and a conduction control terminal of the second switching element, and a diode having an anode connected to the conduction control terminal of the first switching element and a cathode connected to a common junction of the first switching element and the second switching element.
