To improve reliability of a semiconductor deviceA power MOSFET for switching and a sense MOSFET having an area smaller than that of the power MOSFET and configured to detect an electric current flowing through the power MOSFET are formed within one semiconductor chip CPH and the semiconductor chip CPH is mounted over a chip mounting part via an electrically conductive joining material and sealed with a resin. In a main surface of the semiconductor chip CPH, a sense MOSFET region in which the sense MOSFET is formed is located more internally than a source pad PDHS4 of the sense MOSFET region RG2. Furthermore, in the main surface of the semiconductor chip, the sense MOSFET region RG2 is surrounded by a region in which the power MOSFET is formed.

A semiconductor device is improved in reliability. A power MOSFET for switching, and a sense MOSFET for sensing a current flowing in the power MOSFET, which is smaller in area than the power MOSFET, are formed in one semiconductor chip. The semiconductor chip is mounted over a chip mounting portion, and sealed in a resin. To first and second source pads for outputting the current flowing in the power MOSFET, a metal plate is bonded. A third source pad for sensing the source voltage of the power MOSFET is at a position not overlapping the metal plate. A coupled portion between a source wire forming the third pad and another source wire forming the first and second pads is at a position overlapping the metal plate.

A size of a charge pump circuit is reduced as well as its cost. In a positive booster charge pump circuit in an embodiment of this invention, a positive boosted voltage 2VDD generated at its first stage node is used as a gate voltage to turn on a MOS transistor that outputs a high level (VDD) of each of the first, third and fourth clock drivers. And in a negative charge pump circuit, a negative boosted voltage −VDD generated at its first stage node is used as a gate voltage to turn on a MOS transistor that outputs a high level of each of the second and fifth clock drivers.

An inrush current at beginning of operation of a charge pump circuit is reduced to prevent adverse effect on other circuits in a system. Charge transfer MOS transistors are connected in series. One end of each coupling capacitor is connected to each connecting point of the charge transfer MOS transistors. An output from each clock driver is applied on the other end of the respective coupling capacitor. Each clock driver includes a first clock driver and a second clock driver having higher driving capacity than the first clock driver. Each clock driver is controlled so that the first clock driver is put into operation at first and at the end of a predetermined elapsed time it is stopped and the second clock driver is put into operation.

摘要:
An abnormal reduction in a positive high power supply electric potential VH outputted by a positive booster charge pump circuit at switching of an output stage inverter in a driver circuit is prevented. An output of an inverter INV2 is applied to an input terminal of an inverter INV4 for controlling an output transistor, and an output of the inverter INV4 is applied to a gate of an N-channel type MOS transistor of the output stage inverter INV6. The inverter INV4 is made of a P-channel type MOS transistor, a first resistor and an N-channel type MOS transistor connected between a positive high power supply electric potential VH and a negative high power supply electric potential VL, making a connecting node between the first resistor and the N-channel type MOS transistor an output terminal of the inverter INV4.
