    摘要: The present invention is aimed at providing a method and a circuit for protecting the output stage of a power actuator against voltage transients of the surge type. In particular, it provides protection against voltage surge transients of the kind described by International Standard IEC 801-5, for a power transistor contained in the output stage of the actuator.
    The method of this invention provides for:

    the utilization of the power transistor (PW) intrinsic diode (DP) for dumping the transient energy to one of the supply generator terminals during a positive transient; and
    the utilization of the power transistor (PW) restoration feature to the on state for dumping the energy thereinto during a negative transient, while simultaneously inhibiting the current limiting function.

    The power transistor (PW) is turned on again, and the current limiting circuit (4) inhibited, by the following steps:

    a) generating an electric signal which is substantially proportional to the voltage appearing at the output terminal (OUT) of the actuator;
    b) driving the control terminal (G) of the power transistor (PW) by means of said electric signal, and causing said transistor to conduct, while simultaneously disabling the current limiting circuit (4) when the output voltage exceeds a predetermined threshold; and
    c) allowing the transient energy to be dissipated to the power transistor (PW).

    a network for detection of the current delivered by the power transistor (PW) which generates a first electrical signal proportional to said current,
    a reference network generating a reference electrical signal, and
    an operational amplifier (3) which compares the first electrical signal with the reference electrical signal and which tends to inhibit the power transistor if the current delivered exceeds a certain threshold value and whose output terminal is coupled to the reference network in such a manner that the reference electrical signal depends on the voltage present at the amplifier output.

    摘要: The purpose of the present invention is to supply a method and a circuit simple and accurate enough to protect at least one transistor against exceeding a complex limit implying processing of multiple electrical quantities associated with said transistor.
    Since in many practical cases said complex limit corresponds to the product of at least two quantities, typically a current and a voltage, the circuit in accordance with the present invention generates electrical signals basically proportional to said quantities, multiplies them, compares the product with a reference signal corresponding to the limit placed on the transistor and acts on the transistor in such a way that said limit is not exceeded.
    Advantageously the multiplication of currents can be provided simply by means of connection in series of bipolar transistor junctions at which said currents are supplied to the respective emitters. In this case it is additionally advantageous to generate the reference signal by means of connection in series of the bipolar transistor junctions in such a manner as to have an analogous behaviour of the multiplier and the generator.
