ABSTRACT:
A switching circuit includes a semiconductor switching element having a control electrode and a source-drain current path, the source-drain current path being connected between a voltage source and a load circuit, a parallel circuit formed by first and second transistors having respective collector-emitter paths connected between the control electrode of the semiconductor switching element and a reference potential point, a first resistor connected to the second transistor in series, a differential circuit connected between a control signal terminal and the base of the first transistor and a second resistor connected between the control signal terminal and the base of the second transistor. The first transistor is made conductive by a signal obtained by differentiating a control signal and subsequently the second transistor is made conductive to control the semiconductor switching element for ON/OFF.
