    摘要: The object of the invention is to provide an inverter device and an electric motor device using the same to shorten a dead time. Thus, an inverter device is provided, which includes: a switching element including a control terminal and a pair of main terminals; a control circuit configured to output a control signal which indicates whether to instruct an ON state of the switching element; a decision circuit configured to output a decision signal which indicates a state of the switching element based on a voltage between the main terminals of the switching element; and a drive circuit configured to control the ON state or an OFF state of the switching element based on the control signal and the decision signal.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a first external electrode with a first electrode surface portion; a second external electrode with a second electrode surface portion; a MOSFET chip with a built-in Zener diode which includes an active region and a peripheral region; a control IC chip which drives the MOSFET chip based on voltage or current between a drain electrode and a source electrode of the MOSFET chip; and a capacitor which supplies power to the MOSFET chip and the control IC chip. The first electrode surface portion is connected to either the drain electrode or the source, the second electrode surface portion is connected to either the source electrode or the drain electrode, a plurality of unit cells of the MOSFET with the built-in Zener diode are provided in the active region, and the breakdown voltage of the Zener diode is set to be lower than that of the peripheral region.
