    摘要: A switching device includes a working circuit, to which an operating voltage can be or is applied to which has at least one electronic switching element. This switching element includes at least one control terminal for applying a switching signal and is switched off or switched on depending on the switching signal. At least one electronic protection element is for protecting the switching element in its switched state from excessive Joule losses in the event of danger, especially in the event of an overload or a short circuit. The protection element bears the predominant part of the operating voltage that is released at the working circuit. The switching device includes a switching-off device, which, in the event of danger, automatically switches the switching element to the switched off state, using the energy contained in the operating current or the operating voltage passing through the working circuit or the voltage that is released at the working circuit or at the protection element exceeds a predetermined upper limit value.

    摘要: A switching device includes at least one MOSFET switching element and at least one JFET protective element, which is connected electrically in series to the switching element and which limits the electric current to a maximum current (saturated current) and control elements, which increase the maximum current of the JFET protective element during the closing operation or in a time-delayed manner, at least in the temporal mean, to at least a higher value and subsequently reduce said maximum current to at least a lower value. The advantage of said switching device is that it allows higher starting or closing overcurrents, which are subsequently limited.

    摘要: The invention relates to a semiconductor structure for controlling a current (I), comprising a first n-conductive semiconductor region (2), a current path that runs within the first semiconductor region (2) and a channel region (22). The channel region (22) forms part of the first semiconductor region (2) and comprises a base doping. The current (I) in the channel region (22) can be influenced by means of at least one depletion zone (23, 24). The channel region (22) contains an n-conductive channel region (225) for conducting the current, said latter region having a higher level of doping than the base doping. The conductive channel region (225) is produced by ionic implantation in an epitaxial layer (262) that surrounds the channel region (22).
