Title:
DRIVING CIRCUIT FOR SEMICONDUCTOR ELEMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/116900
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A driving circuit for a semiconductor element eliminates false detection of an abnormality of a semiconductor element (1) when a gate-on command is inputted in a status where the gate voltage of the semiconductor element (1) is not sufficiently lowered. A control quantity (gate voltage) of the semiconductor element (1) is permitted to be detected only during a period which corresponds to a control quantity (Qon) of the semiconductor element (1) when an on-signal is inputted to a control circuit (2), a detected control quantity (Qt) detected during the period is compared with a control comparison quantity (Qs) set by corresponding to the control quantity (Qon) to output an abnormal signal, and the semiconductor element (1) is shut off at a speed lower than a normal shutoff speed.
