Abstract: The device for protection against the short circuit of an MOS-type power device comprises at least one secondary branch circuit (2, 3) arranged in parallel with a main branch circuit (1) which includes the power transistor (T1). The secondary branch (2, 3) includes a control MOS transistor (T2, T3) having the same characteristics as the power transistor (T1) under control and the ability to conduct a current equal to a fraction of that flowing through the power transistor (T1). The gate of the control transistor (T2, T3) is connected directly with that of the power transistor (T1). The secondary branch also includes means (T4, T5, T6, R2, R3) sensitive to temperature which, in the case of a current flow corresponding to the short circuit current of the power transistor (T1), act on the gate common to the control and to the power transistors (T2, T3; T1) so as to lower its voltage and thus limit the conduction of same.

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 protect a power transistor by providing a first circuit means for prohibiting the operation of a clamp circuit and a second circuit means for maintaining the clamp circuit in an operating state. CONSTITUTION: First circuit means R1, C1, 8, E1, and T1 prohibit the operation of a clamp circuit 1 for a set time interval, from the time when a power device 3 is switched on until a time when the initial underground of the supply voltage of a power supply device generated due to a resonance load L caused by the ignition of a power device 3 is completed. Second circuit means C2 and TP4 maintain the clamp circuit 1 in an operating state during a second underground of a supply voltage, that is generated due to the resonance load L after the ignition of the power device 3, thus protecting a power transistor.

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.
