Abstract: A substrate electric potential stabilization circuit is configured to be connected to a bidirectional switch element including a first main electrode, a second main electrode, and a backside electrode. The stabilization circuit includes a first switch connected to the first main electrode and the backside electrode in series between the first main electrode and the backside electrode, a second switch connected to the second main electrode and the backside electrode in series between the second main electrode and the backside electrode, and a through-current prevention circuit configured to prevent the first switch and the second switch from being turned on simultaneously. The substrate electric potential stabilization circuit prevents a through-current flowing in this circuit.

Abstract: A switch system includes a bidirectional switch, a first gate driver circuit, a second gate driver circuit, a control unit, a first decision unit, and a second decision unit. The bidirectional switch includes a first source, a second source, a first gate, and a second gate. The first decision unit determines, based on a voltage at the first gate and a first threshold voltage, a state of the first gate in a first period in which a signal to turn OFF the first gate is output from the control unit to the first gate driver circuit. The second decision unit determines, based on a voltage at the second gate and a second threshold voltage, a state of the second gate in a second period in which a signal to turn OFF the second gate is output from the control unit to the second gate driver circuit.
