摘要: A gate driver circuit includes a pulse generator that receives an input signal and generates a pulse signal in response to a switch-on command included in the input signal. The pulse signal has a pulse with a pulse length that is dependent on a level of a pulse control signal. The circuit further includes a sampling circuit that samples an output voltage subsequent to the pulse and stores a respective sampled value, and a controller that receives the sampled value of the output voltage and a reference voltage and updates the level of the pulse control signal based on the sampled value and the reference voltage. A driver circuit generates the output voltage based on the pulse signal.

The gate drive device includes a calculation circuit, a drive circuit, a detection circuit, and a learning circuit. The calculation circuit executes a predetermined calculation mode to calculate an operation amount for operating gate drive speed of the semiconductor switching element. The drive circuit drives the gate of the semiconductor switching element according to the operation amount. The detection circuit detects the transient voltage. The learning circuit executes learning processing to change the predetermined calculation mode based on the operation amount calculated by the calculation circuit and the transient voltage detected by the detection circuit.

摘要: A controller controls multiple parallel-coupled power transistors. A correction amount calculation unit generates a reference value based on multiple detection values, each of which has a correlation with the switching loss of corresponding one of the multiple power transistors, and generates multiple correction amounts such that the multiple detection values approach the reference value. A gate signal generating unit generates multiple gate signals based on a control instruction and the multiple correction amounts.

摘要: Devices having one primary transistor, or a plurality of primary transistors in parallel, protect electrical circuits from overcurrent conditions. Optionally, the devices have only two terminals and require no auxiliary power to operate. In those devices, the voltage drop across the device provides the electrical energy to power the device. A third or fourth terminal can appear in further devices, allowing additional overcurrent and overvoltage monitoring opportunities. Autocatalytic voltage conversion allows certain devices to rapidly limit or block nascent overcurrents.
