摘要: A switch circuit and an electronic device are provided. The switch circuit includes an external node, an internal node, an enhancement-mode gallium-nitride high-electron-mobility transistor, and a driver module. The enhancement-mode gallium-nitride high-electron-mobility transistor includes a first gate electrode, a first electrode, and a second electrode. The driver module includes a control terminal. The first gate electrode is coupled to the control terminal, the first electrode is coupled to the external node, and the internal node is coupled to the second electrode. The external node receives a charging voltage, and the driver module controls on or off of the enhancement-mode gallium-nitride high-electron-mobility transistor. When the enhancement-mode gallium-nitride high-electron-mobility transistor is turned on, the charging voltage is transmitted to the internal node. Alternatively, the internal node receives a charging voltage, and the driver module controls on or off of the enhancement-mode gallium-nitride high-electron-mobility transistor.

摘要: A method for operating a normally off or normally on power semiconductor element. A threshold voltage change in a threshold voltage of the power semiconductor element in relation to a reference threshold voltage is determined. A switch-on gate voltage is applied between a gate terminal and a source terminal of the power semiconductor element for the purpose of switching on the power semiconductor element is changed by the threshold voltage change in relation to a reference switch-on gate voltage corresponding to the reference threshold voltage.

摘要: A system in a vehicle includes a first fuse connected between a power source and a load. The first fuse is an electronic fuse (eFuse) to disconnect the load from the power source via the first fuse based on opening a first fuse switch. The system also includes a second fuse connected between the power source and the load via a second fuse switch. The first fuse and the second fuse are part of a cluster of fuses. A controller opens the first fuse switch and keeps the second fuse switch closed based on the vehicle entering a key-off mode in which the vehicle is turned off.

摘要: A method for driving a power transistor includes comparing a measurement signal that is representative of a load current to a comparator threshold that corresponds to an overcurrent threshold; generating a first fault signal when the measurement signal exceeds the comparator threshold for a first time interval; generating a second fault signal when the measurement signal exceeds the comparator threshold for a second time interval that is greater than the first time interval; regulating a control voltage provided to the control terminal of the transistor to turn off the transistor in response to the second fault signal; and in response to the first fault signal, adjusting the control voltage to an adjusted voltage level in order to limit the load current to a reduced current level that is preconfigured to be greater than the overcurrent threshold. The adjusted voltage level is sufficient to maintain the power transistor in an on-state.
