Title:
MOS GATE DRIVER CIRCUIT
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH08330929
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a MOS gate driver circuit with a simplified circuit structure and high speed operation. SOLUTION: In a circuit 11 at a high-voltage side to turn off an output at the high-voltage side of a MOS gate device by responding to a state of a fault, a fault latch and a filter circuit 32 used in the MOS gate driver for a power MOS gate device are arranged at the high-voltage side of the circuit. Furthermore, the fault latch and the filter circuit 32 are arranged in a floating well of a semiconductor chip, including the driver circuit. The fault latch and the filter circuit 32 are connected with an output driver circuit 17 through a gate 31, to receive the filter at the high-voltage side and a latch 16 and operated through a level shift raising circuit by an input control logic circuit. The fault latch circuit 32 is provided with the output whose level is shifted downwards in a fault-informing latch circuit 33 at a low-voltage side of the device by a single PMOS device Q1 .
