Description of the Related Art When a current is switched off in a circuit having an inductive load such as a solenoid, an overvoltage surge is applied to both ends of a power semiconductor element, and the semiconductor element may be destroyed. In order to prevent such destruction, the overvoltage surge is absorbed by using a zener diode having a breakdown voltage lower than the breakdown voltage of the switching semiconductor element. FIG. 3 shows such a circuit. . That is, the source terminal of the power MOSFET 11 as the power switching element is grounded, and the inductive load 12 is connected between the drain terminal and the power supply 13. MOSF
A drive circuit 15 powered by a small power supply 14 has a gate of the ET 11 and a zener diode 16 between the gate and the drain terminal.
A resistor 17 and a Zener diode 18 for absorbing an overvoltage to the gate are connected between the resistor 17 and the source terminal. FIG. 4 shows a time chart of the switching waveform of this circuit. Waveform 21 is power MOSFET11
The waveforms 22 and 23 are the drain potential of the MOSFET 11 and the waveform 23 is the case where the Zener diode 16 is not connected. The voltage V O applied by the power supply 13 when the element 11 is off is reduced to a forward voltage by applying a gate voltage from the small power supply 14 via the drive circuit 15 as shown in a waveform 21 . Also , at the time of turn-off performed by returning the gate voltage to 0, the voltage rises sharply due to the energy stored in the inductive load 12. Tsu when Ena diode 16 is connected, the voltage exceeding the sum V 1 of the threshold voltage of the Zener voltage and the MOSFET11 of the Zener diode 16 is absorbed, but shows a waveform such as 22 are not connected to the Zener diode 16 High surge voltage V like 23
