Abstract:
A driving circuit drives an N-channel or NPN high-side transistor. A level shift circuit includes an open-drain differential conversion circuit that converts an input signal S IN  into a differential signal S diffP /S diffN , and a latch circuit that switches its state according to the differential output S diffP /S diffN  of the differential conversion circuit. A driver drives a high-side transistor according to an output of the level shift circuit. A bootstrap circuit generates a bootstrap voltage V BST  to be used as an upper-side power supply for the driver. Upon detecting an abnormal state, a protection circuit controls at least a part of the driving circuit except for the input signal S IN  so as to turn off the high-side transistor.

Claim (Index 6):
The driving circuit according to  claim 4 , wherein the protection circuit comprises a discharge transistor arranged between a bootstrap line at which the bootstrap voltage is generated and a ground line,\n wherein the protection circuit is structured to turn on the discharge transistor in the abnormal state.
