Abstract:
A drive circuit includes a first level shift circuit, a second level shift circuit, a pre-driver, and a high-side transistor. The first level shift circuit outputs a first switch signal. The second level shift circuit outputs a second switch signal. The pre-driver includes a first switch portion configured to perform switching in accordance with the first switch signal and a second switch portion configured to output a gate signal in accordance with the second switch signal. The high-side transistor outputs a high-side output signal to an output terminal with a second power supply voltage which is fed in accordance with the gate signal.

Claim (Index 1):
A drive circuit comprising:\n a first level shift circuit configured to receive an input high-side driving signal and output a first switch signal which is obtained by shifting the high-side driving signal to a predetermined first signal level; a second level shift circuit configured to output a second switch signal which is obtained by shifting signal level of the high-side driving signal to a predetermined second signal level set to be not higher than the predetermined first signal level; a pre-driver including a first switch portion which switches to either connection to or disconnection from a feed channel for a first power supply voltage in accordance with the first switch signal and a second switch portion which is connected to the first power supply voltage through switching by the first switch portion and outputs a gate signal in accordance with the second switch signal; and a high-side transistor connected to a second power supply voltage set to be lower than the first power supply voltage and configured to generate a high-side output signal with the second power supply voltage that is fed in accordance with the gate signal and output the high-side output signal to an output terminal.
