Original Abstract Submitted

According to one embodiment, a control circuit includes a first bias terminal, a second bias terminal, an input-side terminal, a diode, a capacitor, a first transistor, a second transistor, and an output-side terminal. The first transistor includes a first control terminal configured to turn on and off electrical conduction between a third terminal and a fourth terminal. The second transistor includes a second control terminal configured to turn on and off electrical conduction between a fifth terminal and a sixth terminal. A control signal based on a signal input to the input-side terminal is input to the first control terminal and the second control terminal, and the first transistor and the second transistor are alternately turned on and alternately turned off.
