- di/dt is the slope of the current flowing through the switching element, and depends on the switching (turn-off) speed of the switching element.
- the switching speed of a plurality of switching elements used in the same circuit is usually limited by the parasitic inductance of the wiring related to the switching element located farthest from the smoothing capacitor (having the longest wiring length). That is, the switching speeds of the switching elements other than the switching element located farthest from the smoothing capacitor are set to be slow in the same way as for the switching element located farthest from the smoothing capacitor. Therefore, overall switching loss increases more than necessary.
- the multifunction device 1 employs the following configuration, thereby addressing the above problem.
- the drive frequency (switching frequency) of the second switching elements Q7 and Q8 of the heater control circuit 30 is lower than the drive frequency (switching frequency) of the first switching elements Q1 to Q6 of the motor drive circuit 20.
- the motor drive circuit 20 (the first switching elements Q1 to Q6) converts the DC voltage from the high voltage power supply HV into a three-phase AC voltage, and when the switching frequency of the first switching elements Q1 to Q6 becomes low, There is a possibility that distortion etc. may occur in the output waveform. If distortion or the like occurs in the output waveform, stable operation of the electric motor 4 cannot be obtained. For this reason, the switching frequency of the first switching elements Q1 to Q6 of the motor drive circuit 20 has to be increased to some extent. For example, the switching frequency of the first switching elements Q1 to Q6 needs to be on the order of kHz or higher.
- the heater control circuit 30 (second switching elements Q7, Q8) turns on/off the current between the high voltage power supply HV and the electric heater 5, the switching of the second switching elements Q7, Q8
- the frequency does not need to be that high.
- a switching frequency of the second switching elements Q7 and Q8 on the order of Hz is sufficient.
- the switching frequencies of the second switching elements Q7 and Q8 are set lower than the switching frequencies of the first switching elements Q1 to Q6.
- the switching speed of the second switching elements Q7 and Q8 of the heater control circuit 30 is slower than the switching speed of the first switching elements Q1 to Q6 of the motor drive circuit 20.
- the switching frequency of the second switching elements Q7 and Q8 of the heater control circuit 30 is the same as that of the first switching elements Q1 to Q6 of the motor drive circuit 20. It is set lower than the switching frequency. In other words, the second switching elements Q7 and Q8 have a smaller switching frequency than the first switching elements Q1 to Q6. This means that even if the switching speed of the second switching elements Q7 and Q8 is slowed down, the increase in switching loss is smaller than when the switching speed of the first switching elements Q1 to Q6 is slowed down. This means that an increase in switching loss as a whole can be suppressed.
- the switching speeds of the second switching elements Q7 and Q8 are set to be slower than the switching speeds of the first switching elements Q1 to Q6.
- the gate resistances (not shown) of the second switching elements Q7 and Q8 have a higher resistance value than the gate resistances (not shown) of the first switching elements Q1 to Q6 of the motor drive circuit 20.

- the parasitic inductance of the wiring related to the first switching elements Q1 to Q6 of the motor drive circuit 20 is smaller than the parasitic inductance of the wiring related to the second switching elements Q7 and Q8 of the heater control circuit 30. ing.
- the parasitic inductance of the wiring related to the first switching elements Q1 to Q6 of the motor drive circuit 20 is equal to the parasitic inductance of the wiring related to the second switching elements Q7 and Q8 of the heater control circuit 30. It is formed to be smaller than.
- the parasitic inductance of wiring becomes smaller as the length of the wiring becomes shorter. Therefore, in the electronic circuit of this embodiment, the smoothing capacitor SC is placed closer to the first switching elements Q1 to Q6 of the motor drive circuit 20 than the second switching elements Q7 and Q8 of the heater control circuit 30 (see FIG. 5), as a result, the length of the wiring related to the first switching elements Q1 to Q6 (specifically, the wiring between the smoothing capacitor SC and the first switching elements Q1 to Q6) is reduced to that of the second switching elements Q7, Q8. (specifically, the wiring between the smoothing capacitor SC and the second switching elements Q7 and Q8).
- the parasitic inductance of the wiring becomes smaller as the width of the wiring becomes wider (the thicker the wiring becomes). Therefore, in the electronic circuit of the present embodiment, the wiring for the first switching elements Q1 to Q6 is formed wider (thicker) than the wiring for the second switching elements Q7 and Q8. However, in this embodiment, the wiring for the second switching elements Q7 and Q8 includes a common portion with the wiring for the first switching elements Q1 to Q6. Therefore, in this embodiment, the wiring between the smoothing capacitor SC and the first switching elements Q1 to Q6 (the wiring surrounded by broken lines in FIG. 5) is the wiring between the smoothing capacitor SC and the second switching elements Q7 and Q8. Wider ( thick).
- the smoothing capacitor SC connects the second switching elements Q7 and Q8 of the heater control circuit 30.

Furthermore, on the upper surface of the circuit board 6 (the surface on the third cover 2F side), the lengths of the wiring patterns P1a and P1b between the smoothing capacitor SC and the first switching elements Q1 to Q6 are the same as the lengths of the wiring patterns P1a and P1b between the smoothing capacitor SC and the second switching elements Q1 to Q6.
