    Abstract: In order both to accommodate instantaneous current as well as overcurrent protection in accordance with the load, an overcurrent protection circuit has: a threshold value generation unit that, in accordance with a threshold value control signal, switches between setting an overcurrent detection threshold value to a first set value (∝ Iref) and a second set value (∝ Iset) lower than the first set value; an overcurrent detection unit that compares a sense signal in accordance with the current being monitored and the overcurrent detection value and generates an overcurrent protection signal; a reference value generation unit that generates a reference value (∝ Iset) in accordance with the seconds set value; a comparison unit that compares the sense signal and the reference value, and generates a comparison signal; and a threshold value control unit that monitors the comparison signal, and generates a threshold value control signal.

    Abstract: This semiconductor device comprises: an n-type semiconductor substrate which is connected to an output terminal; a first p-type well which is formed in the n-type semiconductor substrate; a first n-type semiconductor region which is formed in the first p-type well and is connected to a control terminal; and a potential separation part which is connected between the first p-type well and a ground terminal. The potential separation part sets the first p-type well and the ground terminal to a same potential when the output terminal is held at a higher potential than the ground terminal, and sets the first p-type well and the output terminal to a same potential when the output terminal is held at a lower potential than the ground terminal.

    Abstract: An overcurrent protection circuit includes a current control part configured to control conductance of a transistor so as to limit an output current flowing when the transistor is turned on to a predetermined upper limit or less, and a duty control part configured to forcibly turning on/off the transistor at a predetermined duty ratio when a temperature protection circuit detects a temperature abnormality in a state where the current control part limits the output current.
