ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor device includes a power device, and a driver which drives the power device. The driver includes a capacitor which is charged or discharged in correspondence to an external control signal, a first comparator which compares a voltage of the capacitor with a first reference voltage, and outputs a first signal based on a result of the comparison, a drive controller which outputs a drive signal in correspondence to the first signal to the power device; and a capacitor charger which detects the voltage of the capacitor, and supplies a current to the capacitor to charge the capacitor when the voltage of the capacitor is increasing within a given range.
