A semiconductor switch circuit comprises first, second and third transistors. The complementary first and second transistors make up an inverted Darlington circuit. The third transistor with the base and collector thereof connected to the collector and base of the inverted Darlington circuit respectively makes up a positive feedback circuit with the inverted Darlington circuit. The conduction current of the switch circuit is split into two conduction currents flowing through the complementary first and second transistors making up the inverted Darlington circuit. By controlling the base current of at least one of the first and second transistors, the switch circuit is subjected to on-off control, thereby making it possible to reduce the required control power and increase the off-controllable load current.

A semiconductor switch circuit of field-drive type includes a bipolar component having forward blocking and reverse blocking junctions, and p-channel and n-channel IGPETS connected across the bipolar component so as to short-circuit its forward blocking junction. The switch circuit operates to turn on or off in response to the voltage signal to the gate circuit which is isolated from the bipolar component, irrespective of the polarity of a voltage applied across the bipolar component.

This invention relates to a current supplying circuit for supplying a current to a terminal apparatus through a ring line and a tip line which are connected through resistance elements to a potential source and ground, respectively. This current supplying circuit includes respective detectors for generating first and second detection signals of amplitudes proportional to the currents flowing in the ring and tip lines, respectively, a circuit for generating a reference signal, and a comparator for comparing the signal difference between the first and second detection signals and the reference signal so as to produce a signal in accordance with the compared result, thus a shorted-to-ground fault on the ring line or tip line being detected by monitoring the signal produced in accordance with the compared result. After the shorted-to-ground fault is detected, the current supplying circuit is protected from breakdown.
摘要:
A semiconductor integrated circuit with a short turn-off time in which a high breakdown voltage semiconductor element and a Schottky barrier diode are fabricated into a semiconductor substrate, is disclosed. In the integrated circuit, within a semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type, a diffusion layer with a low impurity concentration disposed deeply which is used as one layer of a high breakdown voltage semiconductor element formed by a high breakdown voltage process and a diffusion layer with a high impurity concentration disposed more shallowly than the diffusion layer with a low impurity concentration, are formed so as to partially couple with each other. The diffusion layer with the high impurity concentration is used for both the ohmic contact for the electrode of the diffusion layer with the low impurity concentration and for a guard ring for a Schottky barrier diode. With such a construction, a Schottky barrier diode may be assembled into a high breakdown voltage semiconductor element with a minimum increase of area. Accordingly, the semiconductor integrated circuit obtained has a high degree of integration and a short turn-off time.
