Abstract:
A semiconductor integrated circuit for driving a control terminal of a switching device includes: a driver circuit that alternately applies a positive voltage supplied from a positive voltage source and a negative voltage supplied from a negative voltage source to the control terminal in order to switch the switching device ON and OFF; and a negative voltage clamp diode that is integrated into a semiconductor chip on which the driver circuit is formed, an anode thereof being connected to the negative voltage source and a cathode thereof being connected to the control terminal.

Claim (Index 7):
The semiconductor integrated circuit according to  claim 6 ,\n wherein the semiconductor chip further includes a surface short-circuit region of the second conductivity type that is formed contacting the cathode region in an upper portion of the semiconductor layer and is short-circuited to the cathode region via surface wiring, and wherein a parasitic bipolar transistor in which the anode region serves as an emitter region, the cathode region serves as a base region, and the surface short-circuit region serves as a collector region is formed.
