摘要:
A power semiconductor module has a detector for detecting main circuit current passing through a power semiconductor element. The detector includes first and second circuit patterns; a bonding wire connected at first and second bonding points with the first and second circuit patterns, respectively; and a pair of terminal patterns extended from near the first and second bonding points of the first and second circuit patterns. The detector is designed to detect a potential difference between the pair of terminal patterns generated by flowing main circuit current through the first circuit pattern, the bonding wire and then the second circuit pattern, in order to detect a potential difference across the bonding wire.

A power semiconductor device has first and second power switching elements connected in series, with flywheel diodes, and first and second driver circuits connected to gates of the first and second power switching semiconductor elements. Further, a second diode is connected to a line to be connected to a terminal of at least one of the first and second driver circuits in forward direction such that a current does not flow in the line from the terminal through the second diode. For example, the second diode is connected between a power source terminal of the driver circuit and a controlled power source. In another example, the second diode is connected between an input terminal of the driver circuit and a device for supplying a control signal to the input terminal.

A shunt voltage that is generated at a shunt resistor (50) is input to overcurrent detecting means (22). When detecting an overcurrent, the overcurrent detecting means (22) inputs a current abnormality signal indicative of a current abnormality to reset signal outputting means (24). The reset signal outputting means (24) stores the occurrence of abnormality from the received current abnormality signal, and waits for recovery from the abnormality afterward. Then, when an overcurrent is no longer detected from the received current abnormality signal, the reset signal outputting means (24) determines that recovery from the abnormality has taken place, and inputs a reset signal composed of a pulse signal of H level for starting the operation to a fault signal output circuit (17) through a reset terminal (RESET). The fault signal output circuit (17) which has received the reset signal inputs a fault signal that has been shifted from L level to H level to a lower arm drive circuit (14).

A power semiconductor device includes a half bridge circuit, a control circuit and a noise removal circuit. The half bridge circuit includes a switching element on a low voltage side and a switching element on a high voltage side, those switching elements serially connected. The control circuit controls a switching operation of the switching element on a low voltage side in the half bridge circuit. The control circuit has a supply-voltage receiving terminal connected to a high voltage side of a power supply for driving the control circuit. The noise removal circuit including, for example, a zener diode, is interposed between the supply-voltage receiving terminal of the control circuit and the low voltage side terminal of the switching element on a low voltage side, to remove noise generated on a conductor connected to a low voltage side terminal of the switching element on a low voltage side.
