Driving apparatus and printing apparatus

A driving apparatus for driving a load element, the apparatus comprising a driving circuit including:

• an output terminal to which the load element is connected;
• a current output circuit configured to supply a current to the load element via the output terminal;
• a voltage supply circuit configured to apply a voltage to the load element via the output terminal;
• a first signal line configured to control a timing at which the current output circuit starts supplying a current to the load element;
• and a second signal line configured to control a timing at which the voltage supply circuit is turned off,
• wherein the voltage supply circuit starts applying a voltage before the current output circuit supplies a current to the load element, and
• a timing at which the current output circuit starts supplying a current differs from a timing at which the voltage supply circuit turns off application of a voltage.
