A power supply circuit is intended to suppress power consumption when a load is not driven and to shorten a required time to be taken until a boosted voltage to be supplied to a high-side MOS transistor is stabilized when the load is changed from a deactivated state to an activated state. The power supply circuit (power supply circuit 3) supplying power to a load driving circuit (motor driving circuit 2) that drives a load by controlling a high-side MOS transistor M1 on the basis of an input load control signal includes a booster circuit (charge pump 23) configured to boost a voltage of input power and supplies the power of which the voltage is boosted as power for driving the high-side MOS transistor. The booster circuit has power supply capability which varies depending on the load control signal. |
