Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify manufacturing process and to reduce a chip are by detecting a current of a current mirror using a threshold characteristic of a voltage between a base and an emitter of a bipolar transistor and isolating a gate of a MOSFET of a current mirror circuit and stopping only a voltage applied to the gate of a main current circuit to interrupt the current when something is wrong. CONSTITUTION:Usually, a voltage Vs across a galvanometer resistance Fs is set at a value smaller than a threshold voltage VBE between a base and a emitter of a bipolar transistor T1 so that the bipolar transistor T1 turns off and the operation of a current mirror is assured. When an accident happens and a load current is increased, the voltage Vs is increased and when its value exceeds the voltage VBE of 0.6V between the base and the emitter of the T1, the T1 turns on and a gate voltage VG1 of a main MOSFET.M1 is decreased. On the other hand, since a voltage is continuously applied to a current mirror MOSFET.M1 the voltage Vs becomes more large and a VG1 further decreased by a positive feedback action. When an overcurrent exceeds a limit value, a current hardly flows in the main MOSFET.M1 and element is protected from the overcurrent.
