摘要:
A circuit configuration has a first semiconductor switch and a first protection circuit. The protection circuit has a second semiconductor switch whose load path is connected between a control terminal and a load path terminal of the first semiconductor switch. The second semiconductor switch is switched on by a comparator circuit, in each case for a predefined time period, in dependence on a comparison between a load path voltage and a reference voltage, or between a load path current and a reference current.

A circuit configuration for a comparator provides that first and second transistors on an input side are connected jointly by their two control terminals to a first input terminal, and that the first and second transistors have different cutoff voltages. Such a circuit configuration has the advantage that at a zero-volt input voltage, no current is consumed. The circuit configuration can be connected directly to a high-voltage supply without the aid of regulating voltages or high-precision reference voltages.

In a circuit arrangement for regulating the load current of a power MOSFET, the drain-source voltage of the power MOSFET is imaged onto the input of a second MOSFET connected between a gate terminal and source terminal of the power MOSFET. When the input voltage exceeds the cut-off voltage, then the gate-source voltage at the power MOSFET is regulated back to a value that corresponds to the sum of the cut-off voltages of the second MOSFET and a third MOSFET. The gate terminals of third MOSFET and the power MOSFET are connected to one another.

A circuit for detecting the non-operating condition of a load which is connected in series with an electronic switch wherein a comparator has a first input which is connected to the junction point between the load and the electronic switch and has a second input which is a reference voltage such that when the load fails the comparator produces an output to indicate such condition and wherein the reference voltage is lower than the normal voltage when the load is operating properly and is higher than when the load is in the inoperative condition.

A circuit arrangement for controlling load current of a power MOSFET wherein the load is connected at the source terminal includes a second FET having a defined threshold voltage connected with its drain-source path inserted between the gate and source of the power MOSFET. A third FET connects the gate terminal of the second FET to the drain voltage of the power MOSFET when the power MOSFET is in the conductive condition. When the drain-source voltage of the power MOSFET becomes higher than the threshold voltage of the second FET, the second FET becomes conductive and drives the gate-source voltage of the power MOSFET down.

A power circuit includes a power transistor for feeding a load current to a load, a measuring transistor for coupling out a measurement current dependent on the load current, at least two coupling transistors for dividing the measurement current into an internal measurement current and into an external measurement current, wherein the external measurement current can be fed to an external evaluation circuit, and the internal measurement current is fed to an internal evaluation circuit for evaluation. A third coupling transistor can be coupled to the measuring transistor if a measuring device determines a non-coupled state, and the third coupling transistor can be decoupled from the measuring transistor if the measuring device determines a coupled state. The measuring device determines the coupled state if the external evaluation device is coupled to the power circuit, and the measuring device determines a non-coupled state if the external evaluation device is not coupled to the power circuit.

A power semiconductor module (41) as H-bridge circuit (42) has four power semiconductor chips (N1, N2, P1, P2) and a semiconductor control chip (IC). The semiconductor chips (N1, N2, P1, P2, IC) are arranged on three mutually separate large-area lead chip contact areas (43 to 45) of a lead plane (80). The semiconductor control chip (IC) is arranged on a centrally arranged lead chip contact area (45). An n-channel power semiconductor chip (N1, N2) as low-side switch (58, 59) and a p-channel power semiconductor chip (P1, P2) as high-side switch (48, 49) are in each case arranged on two laterally arranged lead chip contact areas (43, 44). The n-channel power semiconductor chips (N1, N2) are jointly at an earth potential (50) and the p-channel power semiconductor chips (P1, P2) are electrically connected to separate supply voltage sources (VS1, VS2).
摘要:
A device and a method for protecting a controllable current consumer is provided wherein the current through the current consumer is detected and the control signal is altered when exceeding a threshold current such that the current through the current consumer will be altered. Thus, the circuit is implemented such that the current consumer is at the same time protected against overheating, i.e. when reaching a temperature threshold, the ignition signal will be altered such that the current through the current consumer decreases.
