Patent abstract
A load drive circuit which can operate at high speed with low consumption current while performing the gate-to-source over voltage protection for its load driving field-effect transistor. A Zener function device is connected between the gate and the source of the load driving field-effect transistor, and an on/off-switch circuit to supply either on-potential or off-potential to the gate of the field effect transistor is provided. The current flowing through the Zener function device when the load driving field-effect transistor is conductive is limited by the on/off-switch circuit.
