  • Patent number: 6828752
    Abstract: The present invention enables modulated wave signals having extremely small waveform distortion to be generated using a relatively simple circuit, and thereby it is possible to hold down vibrations and noise of a motor, which are attributable to torque ripples. In order to remove defects of the conventional techniques, the circuit generates a plurality of trapezoidal wave signals having at least two constant levels based on position sensing signals of magnetic pole of a motor, generates quasi-sinusoidal wave signals at a quasi-sinusoidal wave modulator based on the plurality of trapezoidal wave signals, and compares the quasi-sinusoidal wave signals with a carrier wave so as to perform PWM control of an inverter.

  • Patent number: 5818281
    Abstract: For a semiconductor circuit having one or more semiconductor devices, such as an IGBT, a turn-ON prevention circuit is provided for each device which prevents the device from turning ON during OFF times thereof, due to the presence of a transient voltage (dV/dt) across the main terminals of the device. In accordance with such a scheme, a MOSFET is connected between the insulated-gate electrode and emitter of the IGBT, and a capacitor, for example, is connected between the gate of the MOSFET and a sufficient electric potential to thereby effect a temporary turn-ON of the MOSFET to remove parasitic charge build-up in the IGBT before such charge build-up has reached a potential of the turn-ON threshold of the IGBT during OFF times of the IGBT. The capacitance element can be constituted by a MOSFET, namely, the capacitance across the gate-to-drain of an additional MOSFET.
