Abstract:
A semiconductor integrated circuit for driving a control terminal of a switching device includes: a driver circuit that alternately applies a positive voltage supplied from a positive voltage source and a negative voltage supplied from a negative voltage source to the control terminal in order to switch the switching device ON and OFF; and a negative voltage clamp diode that is integrated into a semiconductor chip on which the driver circuit is formed, an anode thereof being connected to the negative voltage source and a cathode thereof being connected to the control terminal.

Claim (Index 1):
A semiconductor integrated circuit for driving a control terminal of a switching device, comprising:\n a high-level voltage receiving terminal to be connected to a high-level voltage source so as to receive a high-level voltage; a low-level voltage receiving terminal to be connected to a low-level voltage source or a low-voltage electrode terminal of the switching device so as to receive a low-level voltage that is supplied by the low-level voltage source or that is at the low-voltage electrode terminal; a first output terminal to be connected to the control terminal of the switching device though a gate resistor; a second output terminal to be directly connected to the control terminal of the switching device, thereby bypassing the gate resistor; a driver circuit receiving the high-level voltage through the high-level voltage receiving terminal and receiving the low-level voltage through the low-level voltage receiving terminal, the driver circuit alternately outputting said high-level voltage and said low-level voltage from the first output terminal to the control terminal of the switching device, when connected, in order to switch the switching device ON and OFF; and a negative voltage clamp diode that is integrated in a semiconductor chip in which at least a portion of the driver circuit is formed, an anode of the negative voltage clamp diode being connected to the low-level voltage receiving terminal and a cathode of the negative voltage clamp diode being connected to the second output terminal.
