A drive circuit for driving a power device has a level shift circuit which level-shifts an ON signal and an OFF signal for controlling the power device in ON and OFF states, respectively, and which outputs the level-shifted ON and OFF signals, a mask circuit which stops transmission of the ON and OFF signals when both the ON and OFF signals are lower than a first threshold level, and a short circuit which is provided in a stage before the mask circuit, and which short-circuits a path for transmission of the ON signal and a path for transmission of the OFF signal when both the ON and OFF signals are lower than a second threshold level. The second threshold level is higher than the first threshold level.
