Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes: a first chip to restrict current flow in a first direction through a current path; a second chip to restrict the current flow in a second direction opposite to the first direction, through the current path; a wiring having one end connected to the first chip and the other end connected to the second chip, and provided as a part of the current path by relaying the first chip and the second chip; a lead frame having a first lead arranged and fixed with the first chip and a second lead is arranged and fixed with the second chip; and molding resin sealing the first chip, the second chip, the wiring and the lead frame. The wiring is a shunt resistor having a resistive body. The lead frame further has a sense terminal to detect a voltage drop across the resistive body.
Abstract:
In a semiconductor module, an upper arm switching element is integrated to a high-potential conductor coupled to a high-potential electrode of a power source, and a lower arm switching element is integrated to a load conductor coupled to a load. A first connecting conductor has a first end connected to the upper arm switching element and a second end connected to the load conductor. A second connecting conductor has a first end connected to the lower arm switching element and a second end connected to a low-potential conductor coupled to a low-potential electrode of the power source. At least one of the first connecting conductor and the second connecting conductor serves as a shunt resistor for detecting an electric current flowing in the at least one.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes first to third terminals and a clip. The clip includes first to third joint portions and a connection portion. The first to third joint portions correspond to and are bonded to the first to third terminals, respectively. The connection portion connects the first to third joint portions. One terminal in the first to third terminals has a depressed portion depressed to one side in a predetermined direction to store a conductive bonding material. A variation in positions of the first to third terminals in the predetermined direction is absorbed by deformation of the conductive bonding material when one joint portion in the first to third joint portions corresponding to the one terminal is bonded to the one terminal through the conductive bonding material.
Abstract:
A shunt resistor has a resistance element with a predetermined resistivity at least at a part, and the shunt resistor to which a bonding wire is to be connected. The bonding wire is for detecting a value of current flowing between two electrodes bridged through the shunt resistor by detecting a voltage drop at the resistance element. The shunt resistor includes: a pair of connection parts to be respectively electrically connected to the two electrodes; a bridge part having the resistance element, extending from one of the connection parts to the other of the connection parts, and bridging the pair of connection parts; and a mark configured to define a virtual line segment. The mark is arranged to allow the virtual line segment to be oblique with respect to an extending direction of the bridge part.
