A control device that does not require arithmetic processing of a phase current can be provided. A control device in which a plurality of switching legs including a pair of semiconductor switching elements constituting an upper arm and a lower arm are provided in a number corresponding to the number of phases of a motor that is a load includes a switch short circuit detection unit configured to detect a short circuit failure of the semiconductor switching element, and a control unit configured to execute determination processing of determining whether the short circuit failure has occurred in the upper arm or the lower arm on the basis of a result of detection by the switch short circuit detection unit, and to set all the semiconductor switching elements that constitute an arm in which a short circuit failure has occurred on the basis of a result of the determination processing.
