2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 2 shows a conventional FET switch circuit for turning on / off an output voltage. When an output is short-circuited, an FET is turned off before a short-circuit function of a DC power supply device operates.
Since the drain current cannot be controlled, an excessive drain current flows and the FET is damaged. Therefore, as shown in the circuit of FIG.
If a constant voltage diode is connected between the sources, it is possible to suppress the instantaneous peak current.However, the drain current varies due to the variation of the Zener voltage, so it is not possible to suppress the current with high accuracy, and an FET with a large capacity is required. And there is a problem that the cost increases.
