Abstract:
A gate drive circuit includes: an input terminal; a first circuit path inserted into a line connecting the input terminal and a gate of a power transistor; a second circuit path connected in parallel to the first circuit path; and a third circuit path connected in parallel to the second circuit path. The first circuit path includes a gate resistor (Rgon). The second circuit path includes a first capacitor and a first resistor connected in series. The third circuit path includes a second capacitor and a second resistor connected in series. The second capacitor has a capacitance value greater than a capacitance value of the first capacitor. The second resistor has a resistance value greater than a resistance value of the first resistor. The gate resistor (Rgon) has a resistance value greater than the resistance value of the second resistor.
