Circuit device for unstable power source transient state compensation and low voltage cutoff protection of an active controller component
First Claim
Patent Images
1. In a circuit having a power source connected to a load via an active controller component, the active controller component being switched by a driving circuit also connected to the power supply, the improvement comprising:
- a transient capacitor device connected in parallel between the power supply and the driving circuit so as to discharge when the power supply voltage drops and thereby compensate for the drop in voltage supplied by the power supply to the driving circuit; and
a voltage limiting cut-off device connected between the transient capacitor device and the driving circuit and arranged to cut-off supply of power to the driving circuit when the power supply voltage drop continues for a sufficient time to cause the voltage across the capacitor to also drop by a predetermined amount.

Abstract
A circuit device connected between a driving circuit for an active control component such as an IGBT or MOSFET includes a capacitor which compensates for drops in the power supply voltage to the driving circuit and a voltage limiting cut-off device which cuts-off power to the driving circuit when the power supply voltage drop continues for a period long enough to cause a drop in voltage across the capacitor.
