摘要:
A monolithically integrated MOS output-stage component, particularly a DMOS output stage, includes an output-stage element having a GATE connection, a SOURCE connection, and a DRAIN connection, and also includes an excess-temperature protection device. An integrated GATE-protection resistor is provided. The excess-temperature protection device is also integrated in the output-stage component and includes a series connection of a Zener-diode with a temperature-dependent resistor having a positive temperature coefficient. The resistor is coupled with the SOURCE connection while the Zener-diode is coupled with an outer GATE connection. The series connection is provided with a supply voltage. Furthermore, the excess-temperature protection device contains a semiconductor arrangement controlled by a control voltage at the tap node of the series connection. The semiconductor arrangement reduces the GATE voltage upon the occurrence of excess temperatures. In this way, an evaluation signal having a high total slope with respect to temperature is obtained with only slight requirements for the temperature-dependent resistor. Tank leakage currents are compensated for. The output-stage component is completely integratable in a simple manner and, thus, can be manufactured at favorable cost.
摘要:
A monolithically integrated circuit arrangement is arranged in a disc-shaped monocrystalline semiconductor body (100) of a first conductivity type, which semiconductor body consists of silicon and has a first and second main surface. The monolithically integrated circuit arrangement contains a vertical MOSFET power transistor (T1) which consists of a plurality of partial transistors connected in parallel and surrounded by a guard ring (4) of a second conductivity type opposite that of the semiconductor body (100). Proceeding from the first main surface (13), at least one zone (7, 8) of the conductivity type of the semiconductor body (100) but of increased impurity concentration is diffused into the guard ring (4) so as to form at least one active and/or passive peripheral circuit element (T2) which has a protective and/or regulating and/or control function.
