Abstract
Description
電圧Vdsは、抵抗R101、R103、トランジスタT102、アンプAMP101からなる増幅回路で増幅されることになる。ここで、アンプAMP101には、オフセット電圧が存在し、このオフセット電圧の存在により過電流の検出誤差が発生する。以下では、アンプAMP101にオフセット電圧±Voffが存在する場合の検出誤差について検討する。図2ではアンプAMP101を一点鎖線の枠で示し、そのオフセット電圧±Voffをオペアンプの記号から分離して示して記載している。従って、三角形の記号で表されるオペアンプはオフセット電圧ゼロの理想オペアンプである。
抵抗R103の電圧降下V3が、電圧Vdsを増幅した電圧となり、R103/R101=mとすると、電圧V3は以下の(3)式のように示される。
=R103/R101*R101*I1
=R103/R101*(Vds±Voff)
=m*(Ron*ID±Voff) ・・・(3)
(3)式から理解されるように、オフセット電圧(±Voff)をm倍した電圧が、電圧V3に含まれることになり、ばらつきの原因となる。
Iovc=V4/m/Ron±Voff/Ron ・・・(4)
アンプAMP101にオフセット電圧が無ければ、電流Iovcは、V4、R101、R103、Ronで決定される一定値になるが、アンプAMP101にオフセット電圧(±Voff)が存在すると、過電流検出値Iovcがばらつき、そのばらつき量は、±Voff/Ronとなる。このオフセット電圧Voffに起因するばらつきは、オフセット電圧Voffをオン抵抗Ronで除した一定値になる。

前記第2の抵抗(R2)と前記増幅手段(AMP1)の正転入力端子との結合点を点bとするとき、前記点bと接地間に配置された第2の電流源(IB)と、
を備え、

をさらに備え、

前記第2の半導体素子(T2)と前記第3の抵抗(R3)との結合点(点e)の電圧(V3)が一方の入力端子に入力され、前記第1の半導体素子(T1)の第1の主電極の電圧(V1)を抵抗比(R4:R5)で分圧して生成した判定電圧(V4)が他方の入力端子に入力される比較手段(CMP1)、
をさらに備え、

即ち、電圧V3は、MOSFET(T1)のドレイン~ソース間電圧Vdsを正確に増幅率mで増幅した電圧となる。
そして、この電流I1が抵抗R3に流れるから、電圧V3は以下の(7)式で示される。
=m*(Vds+V2a)
=m*Vds+m*V2a
=m*Vds+m*Voff ・・・(7)
(7)式より、抵抗R3に生じる電圧V3には、オフセット電圧Voffがm倍された電圧が含まれ、この電圧が誤差を発生する原因となる。
従って、以下の(9)式が得られる。
=R3*(I1-V2a/R1)
=R3*((Vds+V2a)/R1-V2a/R1)
=R3*Vds/R1
=m*Vds ・・・(9)
(9)式より、電流源IAに上記の電流Ia(=V2a/R1)を流せば、電圧V3は電圧Vdsを正確にm倍した電圧となり、オフセット電圧Voffの影響が除去されることとなる。
即ち、Ia=V2a/R1となる電流を見つけ出すためには、電流Iaをゼロから徐々に増加させて行き、抵抗R6に発生する電圧降下が電圧V2a、またはオフセット電圧Voffに等しくなるときの電流とすればよいことになる。このとき、コンパレータCMP1の出力信号がLレベルからHレベルに反転することになる。
また、上記した実施形態では、オフセット電圧Voffが正の場合(Voff>0)には、電流源IAを通電させ、オフセット電圧Voffが負の場合(Voff<0)には、電流源IBを通電させることによって、アンプAMP1のオフセット電圧Voffの影響を除去するようにした。つまり、オフセット電圧Voffが正であるか、或いは負であるかに応じて、2つの電流源IA、IBのうちのいずれか一方を用いる構成としている。
