Abstract

PURPOSE:To contrive to simplify the circuit constitution and to miniaturize the device by connecting a power MOSFET in series with a rush current generating circuit and utilizing the inter-drain-source on-resistance change with respect to the change in the inter-gate-source voltage. CONSTITUTION:In closing a power switch 2 in a rush current preventing circuit, a voltage from a DC power supply 1 is fed to a resistor 9, a smoothing capacitor 7 and one terminal of a load circuit 8. Since a power MOSFET 11 connected to the other terminal of the capacitor 7 and the circuit 8 is turned off at this point of time, no current (i) flows. On the other hand, the capacitor 10 is charged via a resistor 9 having a sufficiently large resistance, the voltage across the capacitor 10 is increased and it is fed between the gate and source of the FET 11. The inter-gate-source voltage VGS of the FET 11 and a current IDS flowing through the drain and source have a characteristic shown in figure. Thus, the inter-drain-source on-resistance of the FET 11 starts decreasing gradually after application of current, the current (i) starts flowing slowly and reaches the steady-state current gradually.
