This patent specification describes a backflow prevention circuit which includes a first switch configured to conduct or to shut down a current path from an input terminal to an output terminal, a logic circuit configured to binarize an input voltage at the input terminal based on an output voltage at the output terminal and to output a binary signal and a shutdown circuit configured to cause the first switch to shut down independently of a switching control signal in accordance with the binary signal output from the logic circuit. The switching control signal performs a switching control of the first switch. The logic circuit outputs a shutdown signal to shut down independently of the switching control signal when the input voltage becomes smaller than the output voltage.
