Load control device, igniter, engine ignition device, and vehicle

Abstract

A load control device according to an embodiment includes a switching element having a first main terminal connected to a load and having a second main terminal and a control terminal, a shunt resistor electrically connected between the second main terminal and a ground terminal to detect a current flowing through the switching element, a switch control device configured to output a drive signal to the control terminal for driving the switching element, based on a detection signal derived from a detection result of the shunt resistor and on a control signal from an external control device, and a capacitor electrically connected in parallel with the shunt resistor between the second main terminal and the ground terminal.
