Abstract:
A drive circuit drives a plurality of switches and sets a target threshold as a threshold compared to a physical quantity correlated with current flowing to a switching completion switch driven to complete switching from one of first and second states to the other. In the first state, a flow of current to at least one of the switches is allowed. In the second state, a flow of current to all of the switches is blocked. The drive circuit sets the target threshold to a first target threshold during at least a part of a first on-driving period in which only a switching completion switch is being on-driven and sets the target threshold to a second target threshold during at least a part of a second on-driving period in which all of the plurality of switches are being on-driven. The first target threshold is greater than the second target threshold.

Claim (Index 5):
The drive circuit for a switch according to  claim 1 , wherein:\n a switching speed of a following off-switch is higher than a switching speed of a preceding off-switch, the following off-switch being used as the switching completion switch of the plurality of switches, the preceding off-switch being a switch other than the switching completion switch of the plurality of switches; and the drive circuit further comprises an alternating-current off-driving unit that, in state in which all of the plurality of switches are being on-driven, switches the following off-switch to off-driving after first switching the preceding off-switch to off-driving.
