    Abstract: PURPOSE: To generate a diagnostic signal indicating reach of current flowing through a power transistor in a presetting level by driving the first circuit, in which maximum current is restricted by a single signal serving as a function of the voltage difference, and a threshold circuit generating the diagnostic signal. CONSTITUTION: A comparator is constructed of a differential amplifier A which can generate a signal as a function of the difference between a reverence voltage E1 and a voltage in a sensing resistor RS, through which current IC flowing in a power transistor T1 (and a load L) flows. The signal generated by the comparator A drives two circuits. The first circuit (LIMITATOR) generates a restriction signal for the maximum current flowing in the transistor T1 and works on a driving circuit (DRIVE) transmitting driving current to the transistor T1 . The second circuit (DIAGNOSTIC) is set by the first circuit and generates a diagnostic signal VD, after the current IC reaches a value smaller than the limit value for the current IC by the previously set value.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: To provide a circuit that generates a reference voltage with negative temperature coefficient together with a band gap reference voltage with positive temperature coefficient. CONSTITUTION: This circuit includes a network consisting of a Vbe voltage multiplier circuit (K'Vbe) circulating a properly stabilized current against change in a supply voltage between an output node A of an amplifier and a band gap voltage generating network, at least one resistor R connected between a band gap voltage node and ground, and resistive voltage dividers R1, R2 connected to between an output node and ground.

    Abstract: A structure of an electronic device having a predetermined unidirectional conduction threshold, being formed on a chip of an N-semiconductor material, comprises a plurality of isolated N-regions (16a-c), each bounded laterally by an isolating region (15a-c) and at the bottom by two buried P- and N-regions which form in combination a junction with a predetermined reverse conduction threshold, and means (15a,18,17b,15b,17c) of connecting the junctions of the various isolated regions serially together in the same conduction sense; the buried N-region of the first junction (Z1) in the series is connected to a common electrode (C), which also is one terminal of the device, over an internal path (R) of the N-material of the chip, and the buried P-region of the last junction (Zn) in the series contains an additional buried N-region (14d) which is connected electrically to a second terminal (18a) of the device.

    Abstract: A spiral resistor (1), being of a type formed on a semiconductor substrate (2) to withstand high voltages, comprises at least one thin field-plate layer (6) covering said substrate (2) between adjacent turns (5) of the resistor. This prevents the well-known phenomenon of the "phantom gate" from occurring which would result in the characteristics of spiral resistors deteriorating over time.
