- the reference voltages V1 and V2 set in this way are for operating the comparator 15 (CMP1) earlier than the differential amplifier 16 (AMP) in the operation of decreasing the VG voltage. Therefore, when an overcurrent occurs, the operation of the differential amplifier 16 (AMP) is started after the FAST control is started.

Therefore, the third control element 19 (NM4) plays a role of forcibly prohibiting the operation of the second control element 14 (NM2) when no overcurrent is generated in the switching element Q, that is, in a normal operation.

Therefore, the drive signal PDRV generated from the drive control signal DRV through the input gate circuit is applied to the p-channel MOS-FET (PM1) and the n-channel MOS-FET (NM1) of the drive circuit body 11. , NDRV is applied as it is.

Then, the output of the drive signals NDRV and PDRV is blocked by the input gate circuit by the drive stop signal OC. Therefore, the p-channel MOS-FET (PM1) in the drive circuit body 11 is kept off, and the n-channel MOS-FET (NM1) is kept off.

- the drain voltage of the p-channel MOS-FET (PM1) that is, the gate voltage VG is lowered.
- the third control element 19 (NM4) in the operation stop unit 18 is turned off, so that the output of the differential amplifier 16 (AMP) is applied to the second control element 14 (NM2). .
- the control for stabilizing the gate voltage VG through the second control element 14 (NM2) that is, the HOLD control is started.

Then, after the FAST control by the comparator 15 (CMP1) is stopped as the gate voltage VG decreases, the gate voltage VG becomes the second reference voltage under the control of the differential amplifier 16 (AMP). It is converged and held at V2. Accordingly, the gate voltage VG is controlled to decrease with good responsiveness so as to suppress the overcurrent of the switching element Q, and is then held at a predetermined voltage that allows a constant current to flow through the switching element Q.
- the n-channel MOS-FET (NM1) is turned on by the drive signal NDRV generated from the drive control signal DRV through the input gate circuit, the gate voltage VG is set to the ground potential accordingly.
- the switching element driving circuit 10 that operates as described above to perform the reduction control of the gate voltage VG when an overcurrent occurs, it is possible to speed up the overcurrent protection operation for the switching element Q. .
- the gate voltage VG can be kept constant. Therefore, the operation state of the switching element Q can be maintained as it is, and the on / off drive of the switching element Q is not hindered. Therefore, it becomes possible to guarantee a stable operation of the power converter constructed with the switching element Q.
- FIG. 3 compares the control response characteristic (solid line) for the switching element Q by the switching element drive circuit 10 according to the present invention with the control response characteristic (broken line) of the conventional switching element drive circuit 1 shown in FIG. It is shown.

Turn on. Accordingly, the output voltage OUT of the switching element driving circuit 10, that is, the gate voltage VG applied to the gate of the switching element Q is quickly controlled to decrease.
- the switching element driving circuit 10 since the conventional switching element driving circuit 1 does not have the FAST control function that is characteristic of the present invention, the output voltage OUT is held at a substantially constant voltage as shown by a broken line in FIG. Only. Therefore, it can be said that the switching element driving circuit 10 according to the present invention is superior in terms of control response as compared with the conventional switching element driving circuit 1 as a protection operation function against overcurrent.
- the control response can be enhanced with a simple configuration in which the comparator 15 (CMP1) is provided in parallel with the differential amplifier 16 (AMP) to execute the above-described FSAT control. Therefore, its practical advantage is great.
- FIG. 4 shows the characteristics (solid line) when the gate capacitance of the switching element Q is 10 pF under the condition that the saturation current of the control elements 13 and 14 (NM3, NM2) is 32 mA, and The characteristic (broken line) is shown in comparison.
- the saturation currents of the control elements 13, 14 (NM3, NM2) are equal, the response characteristics depend on the gate capacitance of the switching element Q.
- the differential amplifier 16 can efficiently control the gate voltage VG to be constant. Can be done. Therefore, by appropriately setting the saturation current value of the first control element 13 (NM3), the switching element is coupled with the above-described high-speed reduction control of the gate voltage VG by the comparator 15 (CMP1). Regardless of the gate capacity (load capacity) of Q, it is possible to execute a stable protection operation against an overcurrent. Therefore, the switching element driving circuit 10 according to the present invention can perform the overcurrent protection operation for the switching element Q at high speed and stably, and its practical advantages are great.
