    摘要: A driver circuit controls a first switch element. A first resistor is connected between the driver circuit and the first switch element. A second switch element is connected to the first switch element. An overcurrent detector circuit controls the second switch element based on an overcurrent current flowing through the first switch element. A second resistor is connected between the overcurrent detector circuit and the second switch element. The first and second resistors is set such that a turn-off time of the first switch element when the second switch element is turned on by the overcurrent detector circuit is longer than a turn-off time of the first switch element when the first switch element is turned off by the driver circuit.

    摘要: A power converter apparatus is provided to include at least one switching circuit, and a filter circuit. The at least one switching circuit generates an AC voltage by switching a DC voltage at a predetermined switching frequency, and the filter circuit converts the AC voltage from the switching circuit into the DC voltage by low-pass filtering the AC voltage, and outputs the DC voltage to a load. The filter circuit includes first and second bypass capacitors, and at least one inductor. The first bypass capacitor bypasses noise of a first frequency component of the AC voltage from the switching circuit, and the second bypass capacitor bypasses noise of a second frequency component of the AC voltage from the switching circuit. The second frequency component is lower than the first frequency component of the AC voltage from the switching circuit. The at least one inductor is inserted between the first and second bypass capacitors. The inductance of the inductor is set so that a resonance frequency of the filter circuit is lower than the switching frequency by insertion of the inductor.

    摘要: An overcurrent protection circuit is provided for a switching element turned on/off based on a control voltage. The overcurrent protection circuit includes a first transistor and a second transistor. The first transistor is a PNP bipolar transistor and has an emitter connected to the control voltage. The second transistor is an NPN bipolar transistor and has a base connected to a collector of the first transistor, a collector connected to a base of the first transistor and pulled up to a predetermined pull-up voltage, and a grounded emitter. When the control voltage exceeds a predetermined first threshold voltage, the first and second transistors are turned on, the control voltage is dropped by drop of the pull-up voltage, and thus the overcurrent protection circuit starts a protection operation of turning off the switching element.
