    摘要: A semiconductor unit includes a semiconductor device, a controller, and a resistor. The semiconductor device includes a transistor arranged between a positive electrode of a battery and an inverter circuit electrically connected to the battery. The controller is connected to a control terminal of the transistor and configured to control the transistor. The resistor arranged between the control terminal and the controller.

    摘要: A semiconductor unit is arranged between a motor and an inverter circuit that controls the motor. The semiconductor unit includes a transistor and a controller. The transistor is arranged between the inverter circuit and a positive electrode of a battery that supplies power to the inverter circuit, and controls supplying of power from the battery to the inverter circuit. The controller is connected to a control terminal of the transistor, and controls a control voltage that is a voltage applied to the control terminal. When power starts to be supplied from the battery to the inverter circuit, the controller controls the control voltage to intermittently operate the transistor and also decreases the control voltage, which is applied to the control terminal of the transistor, to be lower than the control voltage at which the transistor is fully activated.

    摘要: When an overcurrent is detected by an overcurrent detecting circuit (36), a first switch circuit (32) selects a second input terminal (b) and connects an output terminal (c) to the second input terminal (b), with the result that the output terminal (c) of the first switch circuit (32) is put into a high-impedance state. The second switch circuit (34) selects a second output terminal (f) and connects an input terminal (d) to the second output terminal (f), with the result that the input terminal (d) of the second switch circuit (34) is grounded. That is, the gate of a first MOSFET (21) is grounded via a current interrupting resistor (35). The resistance value of the current interrupting resistor (35) is set so that, at the time of a current interruption, a time interval from a time when the gate-source voltage or gate-emitter voltage of the switching device lowers to such a voltage that the temperature characteristics of the on-resistance of the switching device become negative to a time when the drain current or collector current of the switching device reaches 2% of the saturation current thereof is 500 [nsec] or less.
