Patent number: 11955959Abstract: A parallel driving device that drives parallel-connected semiconductor elements includes a control unit and a gate driving circuit. The control unit detects a temperature difference between the semiconductor elements on the basis of detected values by temperature sensors that detect temperatures of the individual semiconductor elements. The control unit generates a control signal for changing the timing at which to turn on a first semiconductor element specified from the semiconductor elements on the basis of the temperature difference. The gate driving circuit generates a first driving signal for driving the semiconductor elements, and generates a second driving signal that is the first driving signal delayed on the basis of the control signal, and applies the second driving signal to the first semiconductor element.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2019Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Yasushi Nakayama, Yoshiko Tamada, Takayoshi Miki, Shota Morisaki, Yukio Nakashima, Kenta Uchida, Keisuke Kimura, Tomonobu Mihara
