Abstract
A temperature-sensitive diode Td is arranged in the vicinity of a U-phase lower arm semiconductor element Tul. A gate control circuit 131 outputs an on-signal to an on-side gate resistor Rg1 in response to a driving signal input by a microcomputer 151, to turn on the U-phase lower arm semiconductor element Tul. A switching characteristic of the U-phase lower arm semiconductor element Tul is determined by gate resistance constituted by two resistors of the on-side gate resistance Rg1 and an off-side gate resistor Rg2. A resistance value of the gate resistance determining the switching characteristic of the U-phase lower arm semiconductor element Tul that detects temperature by a temperature detecting unit 14 is determined to a value at which heat generation by switching loss becomes larger than the gate resistance that determines switching characteristics of other semiconductor elements which do not detect temperature.

Although FIG. 2 shows the drive circuit Gul that drives the U-phase lower arm semiconductor element Tul, the drive circuits Guu and Gv to Gwl of the other phases have the same configuration. However, in the present embodiment, as will be described later, the resistance values of the on-side gate resistance Rg1 and the off-side gate resistance Rg2 of the drive circuit Gul are different from the resistance values of the drive circuits Guu and Gv to Gwl of the other phases. The capacitances of the capacitors Cge in each phase are all the same value.
U相下アーム半導体素子Tulのスイッチング特性はオン側ゲート抵抗Rg1とオフ側ゲート抵抗Rg2の2つで構成されるゲート抵抗で決まる。ゲート抵抗の抵抗値を大きくするとU相下アーム半導体素子Tulのスイッチング損失は増大するが、スイッチングにより発生するサージ電圧のピークは減少する。通常、ゲート抵抗の抵抗値はサージ電圧が半導体素子の定格電圧を超えない範囲でスイッチング損失が最小となるように設定される。本実施形態では、温度検出部14で温度を検出するU相下アーム半導体素子Tulのスイッチング特性を定めるゲート抵抗の抵抗値を、温度を検出しない他の半導体素子のスイッチング特性を定めるゲート抵抗よりスイッチング損失による発熱が大きくなる値に定める。すなわち、U相下アーム半導体素子Tulを他相の半導体素子より温度が高くなるようにゲート抵抗を大きくし、これにより、スイッチング損失を増大させた相を意図的に作りその相の温度を検出する。
The switching characteristics of the U-phase lower arm semiconductor element Tul are determined by the gate resistance composed of the on-side gate resistance Rg1 and the off-side gate resistance Rg2. Increasing the resistance value of the gate resistor increases the switching loss of the U-phase lower arm semiconductor element Tul, but decreases the peak of the surge voltage generated by switching. Normally, the resistance value of the gate resistor is set so that the switching loss is minimized within the range where the surge voltage does not exceed the rated voltage of the semiconductor element. In the present embodiment, the resistance value of the gate resistor that determines the switching characteristics of the U-phase lower arm semiconductor element Tul whose temperature is detected by the temperature detection unit 14 is switched from the gate resistance that determines the switching characteristics of another semiconductor element that does not detect the temperature. Set to a value that increases heat generation due to loss. That is, the gate resistance of the U-phase lower arm semiconductor element Tul is increased so that the temperature is higher than that of the semiconductor element of the other phase, thereby intentionally creating a phase with increased switching loss and detecting the temperature of that phase. ..
温度検出のばらつきを考慮して、温度検出する相の温度の最小値が、温度検出しない相の温度の最大値より大きくなるように、温度検出する相のスイッチング損失を設定する。
温度検出のばらつき要因として構造的な冷却効率、半導体素子の特性、温度検出回路の特性が考えられる。そこで、例えば、温度ばらつきが±10%の場合には温度上昇が+20%以上となるように温度を検出する相のスイッチング損失を増大させる。 Considering the variation in temperature detection, the switching loss of the temperature-detecting phase is set so that the minimum value of the temperature of the phase to be temperature-detected is larger than the maximum value of the temperature of the phase to be temperature-detected.
Structural cooling efficiency, semiconductor element characteristics, and temperature detection circuit characteristics can be considered as factors that cause variations in temperature detection. Therefore, for example, when the temperature variation is ± 10%, the switching loss of the phase for detecting the temperature is increased so that the temperature rise becomes + 20% or more.
