A load driving device includes a pulse driving circuit which has a capacitor between an output terminal and a ground potential, a level detection circuit which detects whether an output terminal voltage on the output terminal of the pulse driving circuit is at high level or at low level, a switching discharge unit for forming a discharge path through which electric charges charged in a capacitor are discharged by switching of a switch from a non-discharge side to a discharge side, and switching the switch to the discharge side over a discharge maintenance time in a state where the application of a pulse voltage by the pulse driving circuit stops and the output terminal voltage is maintained at high level, a post-discharge detection unit, and a determination unit. |
