    Abstract: A switch drive circuit for driving a switching device includes an overcurrent detector which detects an overcurrent passing through the switching device, and a voltage controller which applies a control voltage to the switching device to control the switching device between On and Off states. When the overcurrent detector detects an overcurrent, the voltage controller applies to the switching device a control voltage that initially drops to a predetermined voltage higher than the threshold voltage of the switching device and that then, after the lapse of a predetermined time, drops further to the ground potential of the switch drive circuit to turn off the switching device. When the overcurrent detector detects no overcurrent, the voltage controller applies to the switching device a control voltage that drops, before the lapse of the predetermined voltage, to the ground potential of the switch drive circuit to turn off the switching device.

    Abstract: A pulse receiving circuit constituting a signal transmission device includes a first pulse detector that receives a differential input between a first reception pulse signal, i.e. an internal signal at a secondary winding of a first transformer and a second reception pulse signal, i.e. an internal signal at a secondary winding of a second transformer; a second pulse detector that receives the differential input between the first reception pulse signal and the second reception pulse signal with input polarity reversed to that of the first pulse detector; and a logic unit that generates a reception pulse signal based on output signals of the first and second pulse detectors, respectively.

    Abstract: A signal transmission circuit which transmits N (N is a natural number of 2 or more) input signals includes a transmission signal generation portion, 2N transmission portions and an output portion. The transmission signal generation portion generates 2N transmission signals according to the N input signals. The 2N transmission portions respectively transmit the 2N transmission signals output from the transmission signal generation portion while performing electrical insulation. The output portion generates and outputs, based on the 2N transmission signals transmitted by the 2N transmission portions, N output signals that respectively indicate the N input signals. The transmission signal generation portion generates a pulse according to the N input signals and incorporates the pulse in only one of the 2N transmission signals at the same time.
