    摘要: An overcurrent protection circuit (6) outputs an overcurrent protection signal (S6) based on a sense voltage (Vsense). A masking circuit (5) is configured so as to allow a masking signal (S5) to be kept set to “L” even when an input signal (IN) rises to “H” (an IGBT (1) is turned on) and an NPN bipolar transistor (23) is turned off, and allow the masking signal (S5) to be changed only after a capacitor (C12) is charged up and a voltage (V9) exceeds a reference voltage (VR). An AND gate (25) receives the masking signal (S5) at one of input terminals thereof and the overcurrent protection signal (S6) at the other of the input terminals thereof, and provides an output which is then output as an interruption control signal (SC_OUT) from a sense output terminal (P2) and is finally supplied to a gate terminal (P3) of the IGBT (1).

    摘要: An inverter apparatus includes an inverter circuit for driving a load. This inverter circuit has at least a pair of switching elements connected in series in a forward direction between both polarity terminals of a dc supply for supplying power to a load. An inverter drive circuit is employed for driving each switching element of the inverter circuit and has at least one high withstand voltage IC wherein the signal level reference potential is different in the input signal and the output signal. A clamping circuit clamps the potential of the low voltage side reference terminal, to which a potential, that is a reference for operation of the high withstand voltage IC in the inverter drive circuit and is a reference for a signal on the low potential side of the high withstand voltage IC, is applied. The voltage is clamped to the high voltage reference terminal to which is applied a reference potential for the high potential-side signal in the high withstand voltage IC. The inverter apparatus also includes a voltage dividing circuit for voltage dividing a voltage between the low voltage side reference terminal of the high withstand voltage IC in the inverter drive circuit and the negative electrode of the dc supply.
