A power supply control circuit comprises an output transistor 32 which controls supply of electric power to a load and a gate driving circuit which generates control signals “a” and “b” for controlling on/off of the output transistor based on an external input signal. A first discharge path includes a first depletion-type N-channel MOS transistor provided between a gate and a source of the output transistor and discharges a gate charge of the output transistor based on the control signals, when turning off the output transistor. A second discharge path includes a first depletion-type N-channel MOS transistor discharges more slowly than the first discharge path. A diode is coupled to the first depletion-type N-channel MOS transistor in series and detects that a gate voltage of the output transistor has fallen to a prescribed voltage level, and cuts off a first discharge path.
