Semiconductor apparatus

Abstract

According to the present disclosure, a semiconductor apparatus comprises a first switching element including a high voltage terminal, a low voltage terminal, and a control terminal; a second switching element being connected in parallel to the first switching element and including a high voltage terminal, a low voltage terminal, and a control terminal; a drive circuit that drives the first switching element and the second switching element, by supplying a control signal based on potential of a GND terminal, to the control terminal of the first switching element and the control terminal of the second switching element; and a resistor connected between the low voltage terminal of the first switching element and the low voltage terminal of the second switching element. The GND terminal of the drive circuit is connected between the low voltage terminal of the second switching element and the resistor.
