    Abstract: In a drive circuit, one of an upper-arm switch and a lower-arm switch being in an on state by a main driver is referred to as a target arm switch. The other of the upper-arm switch and the lower-arm switch being in an off state by the main driver is referred to as an opposite arm switch. An intrinsic diode connected in antiparallel to the opposite arm switch is referred to as an opposite arm diode. The drive circuit includes a protective driver configured to determine whether a failure has occurred in the target arm switch. The protective driver is configured to change the target arm switch from the on state to the off state, and the opposite arm switch from the off state to the on state upon determining that a failure has occurred in the target arm switch.

    Abstract: In a control device, a load determiner determines whether a power converter is in a high-load state or a low-load state. A high-load controller controls on-off operations of the first rectifiers such that on durations of the first rectifiers are respectively synchronized with each other when it is determined that the power converter is in the high-load state. A low-load controller controls on-off operations of the first rectifiers to reduce the on durations of the first rectifies synchronized with each other when it is determined that the power converter is in the low-load state.

    Abstract: In a signal transmission circuit including a drive circuit and a control apparatus which are insulated from each other and between which a signal indicative of predetermined information is transmitted via a magnetic coupler, the drive circuit includes a temperature information transmission unit transmitting a first signal indicative of temperature information based on the number of pulses consecutively output with a predetermined period and each having a first waveform with a duty cycle of less than 100% with respect to the period and an abnormality information transmission unit transmitting a second signal indicative of abnormality information based on a pulse having a longer wavelength than the first waveform. The temperature information transmission unit transmits the first signal to the control apparatus and the abnormality information transmission unit transmits the second signal to the control apparatus, via the magnetic coupler common to two information transmission units.

    Abstract: In a power conversion device, first-phase semiconductor modules are successively arranged in a first direction to form a part of a first row. Second-phase semiconductor modules are successively arranged in the first direction to form a part of a second row while facing the first-phase semiconductor modules. Third-phase semiconductor modules are arranged in a second direction so that one of the third-phase semiconductor modules forms a part of the first row and another of the third-phase semiconductor modules forms a part of the second row. The first row and the second row have surfaces facing each other and from which output terminals protrude. Each of output conductors extends from a connected portion of an output terminal in a direction away from the third-phase semiconductor modules.

    Abstract: A drive circuit for a switch drives an upper-arm switch and a lower-arm switch that include body diodes. Of the body diodes in upper- and lower-arm switches, the diode through which a feedback current flows during a dead time is a target diode. Of the upper- and lower-arm switches, the switch that includes the target diode is a target switch. The remaining switch is an opposing arm switch. The drive circuit maintains an electric potential of a control terminal relative to a second terminal of the target switch at a negative voltage over a period from a timing subsequent to a start timing of a dead time immediately after the target switch is switched to an off-state until a point within a period over which the opposing arm switch is set to an on-state, and subsequently maintains the electric potential at an off-voltage until a next dead time is ended.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device turns on and off a power switching device having a gate terminal and output terminals between which an output current is produced by a gate voltage applied to the gate terminal. The semiconductor device includes: an output current detector detecting a current value correlated with the output current; a voltage detector detecting a voltage across the output terminals of the power switching device; a clamp circuit clamping the gate voltage at a predetermined value; and a controller controlling the clamp circuit to adjust the gate voltage based on the voltage detected by the voltage detector. The controller controls the clamp circuit to set the gate voltage to be at a minimum voltage according to the detected voltage to cause the output current to be larger than a threshold current required for detecting the short circuit in the power switching device.
