A semiconductor device for control applied to a constant-voltage power supply device includes a digital-analog converter circuit which outputs a reference voltage corresponding to a value of a first register with taking an output voltage of a reference voltage source as a criterial reference voltage, and generates a control signal for driving a power semiconductor device based on an output voltage of an error amplifier which differentially amplifies a feedback voltage obtained by resistive-dividing on an output voltage of the constant-voltage power supply device and the reference voltage.

In a non-isolated DC/DC converter, a reference potential for a low-side pre-driver which drives a gate of a low-side MOSFET is applied from a portion except for a main circuit passing through a high-side MOSFET and the low-side MOSFET so that a parasitic inductance between a source of the low-side MOSFET and the pre-driver is increased without increasing the sum of parasitic inductances in the main circuit and negative potential driving of the gate of the low-side MOSFET can be performed and a self turn-on phenomenon can be prevented without adding any member and changing drive system.
摘要:
A DC-DC converter in which self turn-on can be prevented and can improve power efficiency. In a non-insulated DC-DC converter, self turn-on is prevented by applying a negative voltage between a gate and a source of a low side MOSFET by the use of a capacitor for generating negative voltage when the low side MOSFET is in an OFF state. Also, when the low side MOSFET is in an ON state due to the capacitor for generating negative voltage, a positive voltage applied between the gate and the source of the low side MOSFET does not drop from a voltage of a gate driving DC power source that is supplied from a gate power input terminal. Therefore, the power efficiency is improved.
