    Abstract: A drive circuit drives a switch configuring a power converter. The drive circuit divides an inter-terminal voltage of a switch. The drive circuit includes a differential circuit having first and second input terminals to which the divided inter-terminal voltages are inputted. The differential circuit outputs an analog voltage based on a voltage difference between the input terminals. The differential circuit executes reset of the output voltage, and with the voltage difference when reset is canceled after reset is executed as a reference voltage, outputs an analog voltage in which an amount of change from the reference voltage is multiplied by an amplification factor. The drive circuit outputs a binary signal based on comparison results between a threshold and the analog voltage outputted from the differential circuit, and sets a transfer rate of a gate charge of the switch when a driving state is switched, based on the output signal thereof.

    Abstract: In a drive circuit, a differential circuit unit is configured such that resetting of an output voltage of the differential circuit unit is carried out, and the resetting of the output voltage of the differential circuit unit is cancelled. A value of the difference between first and second divided terminal voltages at a timing of cancelling the resetting is defined as a reference voltage. The differential circuit unit generates, as the output voltage, a product of a voltage change from a reference voltage and a predetermined amplification factor after cancelling of the resetting of the differential circuit unit. A signal generator generates a gate signal for the upper- and lower-arm switches in accordance with a value of the output voltage of the differential circuit unit while the upper- and lower-arm switches are in an off state.

    Abstract: The power conversion device includes a plurality of semiconductor modules, each having a main body section including a switching element therein. In a module unit, a positive module and a negative module are disposed such that main surfaces of the respective main body sections oppose each other. A positive terminal, a first intermediate terminal, a negative terminal, and a second intermediate terminal project in a Z direction perpendicular to X direction in which the positive module and the negative module oppose each other. A first vector V1 from the positive terminal towards the first intermediate terminal and a second vector V2 from the second intermediate terminal towards the negative terminal are configured such that these vector components V12 and V22 in a Y direction perpendicular are opposite to each other.

    Abstract: A control apparatus for a DC-to-DC converter includes a switching controller working to selectively perform a first control task and a second control task. The first control task is to control on-off operations of switching devices of the DC-to-DC converter not to have at least one of an all-on period and an all-off period. The all-on period being a period of time in which all the switching devices are turned on. The all-off period is a period of time in which all the switching devices are turned off. The second control task is to control the on-off operations of the switching devices to have both the all-on period and the all-off period. The switching controller works to change the first control task to the second control task before a current mode is switched from a continuous current mode to a discontinuous current mode.

    Abstract: A current measurement apparatus includes a corrector. The corrector calculates an error arising in a measured value of at least one target phase current due to magnetic flux generated from each of multiphase power lines in accordance with an error factor defined for each multiphase power line with respect to the at least one target phase current. The error factor defined for each multiphase power line with respect to the at least one target phase current is a constant value or a variable determined based on (i) one or more shields located between the current sensor and the corresponding multiphase power line and (ii) a distance between the current sensor and the corresponding multiphase power line. The corrector corrects the measured value of the at least one target phase current based on the calculated error.
