Abstract:
1. An integrated circuit device comprising: a first predriver that drives an N-type power MOS transistor of an external driver including the N-type power MOS transistor and a P-type power MOS transistor; a second predriver that drives the P-type power MOS transistor of the external driver; a low-potential-side power supply pad, a low-potential-side power supply voltage being supplied to the first predriver and the second predriver through the low-potential-side power supply pad; a first output pad, an output signal from the first predriver being output through the first output pad; a second output pad, an output signal from the second predriver being output through the second output pad; and a high-potential-side power supply pad, a high-potential-side power supply voltage being supplied to the first predriver and the second predriver through the high-potential-side power supply pad, the low-potential-side power supply pad, the first output pad, the second output pad, and the high-potential-side power supply pad being disposed along a first direction; the first predriver being disposed in a second direction with respect to the low-potential-side power supply pad and the first output pad, the second direction being a direction that is perpendicular to the first direction; and the second predriver being disposed in the second direction with respect to the second output pad and the high-potential-side power supply pad.
