Abstract
A circuit device includes: a first terminal; a second terminal; a first thyristor circuit whose one end is coupled to the first terminal; a second thyristor circuit whose one end is coupled to the second terminal; and a voltage setting circuit that is shared by the first thyristor circuit and the second thyristor circuit and through which a current from the first thyristor circuit when the first thyristor circuit is turned on and a current from the second thyristor circuit when the second thyristor circuit is turned on flow. The voltage setting circuit sets a voltage at other end of the first thyristor circuit to a first voltage when the first thyristor circuit is turned on, and sets a voltage at other end of the second thyristor circuit to a second voltage when the second thyristor circuit is turned on.
