A driving signal supply control semiconductor device includes a load driving device that includes: (i) a bridge circuit including a high-side first transistor and a low-side second transistor, the transistors being electrically connected to a load as an object to be driven and being turned on or off to energize or de-energize the load; (ii) a first driving circuit driving the first transistor; (iii) a second driving circuit driving the second transistor; (iv) a first power supply circuit supplying driving power to the first driving circuit; (v) a second power supply circuit supplying driving power to the second driving circuit; (vi) a supply content setting unit setting a supply content of each of driving signals regarding low-power driving of the load driving device, according to a standby status of the load; and (vii) a driving signal supply control unit controlling supply of the driving signals to the first and the second power supply circuits. Based on the supply content set by the supply content setting unit, the driving signal supply control unit controls independently contents of the driving signals supplied to each of the first and the second power supply circuits such that the load driving device is driven with lower power consumption than in a normal driving status of the load driving device.
