    摘要: The temperature of the power semiconductor component is sensed by a bipolar transistor. The bipolar transistor is in series with a depletion mode MOSFET whose gate and source electrodes are connected together. The drain electrode is also connected to a threshold element. Normally, the FET has low impedance, so that at the input of the threshold element source potential, e.g. ground potential, is present. With current rising as a function of temperature, the current through the FET is limited to a constant, essentially temperature-independent value, and the potential at the input of the threshold element rises steeply. This condition is detected as an overtemperature signal.

    摘要: The voltage peaks occuring upon disconnection of inductive loads are normally attenuated by a by-pass diode connected in parallel with the load. The driving countervoltage is thereby limited to the value of the forward voltage drop of the diode. For a power MOSFET with a source-side inductive load, the driving countervoltage is increased by placing a series connection of an additional MOSFET and a Zener diode between the gate of the power MOSFET and the connection of the load which is remote from the power MOSFET. The driving countervoltage at the source now becomes the Zener voltage plus the occuring gate-source voltage of the power MOSFET.

    摘要: When a power MOSFET operated as a source follower is driven by an electronic switch, an interruption of the connection between ground and the electronic switch may result in the output potential of the electronic switch to change so that the power MOSFET is partially switched on. This causes a considerable amount of power dissipation. Therefore, there is placed between the source and gate electrodes of the MOSFET a depletion MOSFET whose gate is connected to the terminal of the electronic switch intended for connection to ground. Thus, the power MOSFET remains non-conducting upon interruption of the connection between the electronic switch and ground.

    摘要: A switching circuit includes two series-connected MOSFET (1, 6) complementing one another, which are interconnected at the drain terminal of each device. The gate terminal of the MOSFET that is grounded is connected to a control input terminal (E). This gate terminal is also connected to the source terminal of a depletion FET (7). The drain terminal of the depletion FET (7) is connected to the gate terminal of the second MOSFET (6) and, in turn, is connected via a resistor (8) to a voltage source (+U). The gate terminal of the depletion FET (7) is grounded. The load (5) is then connected to the drain side of the complementary MOSFET. When the switch is in a blocking condition, the cross current is thus prevented from flowing; and the FET connected to voltage can be completely activated.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: The gate-source capacitance of a power MOSFET (1) can be protected against positive and negative excess voltages by two integrated Zener diodes (3, 4) the anodes of which are coupled to each other and the cathodes of which are respectively coupled to the gate and source terminals of the power MOSFET. However, when a control voltage is applied, the parasitic bipolar transistor associated with one of the Zener diodes is switched on and prevents the MOSFET from completely switching on. The parasitic bipolar transistor is rendered harmless by the fact that the anode terminal is coupled to a source terminal (S) MOSFET (1) when a gate-source voltage is applied.

    摘要: A circuit for monitoring the temperature of a semiconductor structural component. The circuit includes a bipolar transistor (1) in thermal contact with a semiconductor structural element to be monitored, and a MOSFET (11) connected in series with a current source (12). The MOSFET (11) is maintained in a nonconducting state with two Zener diodes (13, 14) if the bipolar transistor (1) is the standard operating temperature of the semiconductor structural element. This circuit provides for a reduced zero current signal. The current flowing through the bipolar transistor (1) increases with temperature and the gate-source voltage of the MOSFET (11) is increases until it switches off. If the current flowing through the MOSFET (11) is greater than the impressed current of the current source (12) the potential across the current source takes a step increase a value near the supply voltage (V.sub.DD). This voltage step can then be detected as an excess-temperature signal.
