Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/199472
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention addresses a scheme for a plurality of protection circuits without changing the layout of a switching element. A semiconductor device according to the present invention comprises: a main switching element that is formed from a MOSFET, and a sense switching element that has an area smaller than that of the main switching element in plan view and is for detecting current flowing through the main switching element. A first gate terminal that is a gate terminal of the sense switching element is disposed between a second gate terminal that is a gate terminal of the main switching element and a source terminal of the sense switching element.
