  • Patent number: 11955878
    Abstract: The upper arm drive circuit for controlling the drive of an upper arm switching element of the power conversion device includes: an upper arm gate voltage output wiring connected to a gate of the upper arm switching element; a first upper arm drive circuit reference potential wiring; an upper arm gate voltage reference potential wiring connected to an inverter output of the power conversion device; and a control circuit of upper arm drive circuit reference potential wiring potential for controlling the potential of the first upper arm drive circuit reference potential wiring to a potential lower than a reference potential when a potential of the inverter output is equal to a predefined potential that is lower than the reference potential or lower. The first upper arm drive circuit reference potential wiring is connected to the reference potential via the control circuit of upper arm drive circuit reference potential wiring potential.

  • Patent number: 11735997
    Abstract: The upper arm drive circuit for controlling drive of the upper arm switching element of the power conversion device includes: a capacitor disposed between a gate of the upper switching element and the output terminal of the power conversion device; a reverse current prevention circuit that is disposed between a power supply of the power conversion device and the capacitor, and that makes a current flow from a first terminal side of the reverse current prevention circuit connected to the power supply side to a second terminal side of the reverse current prevention circuit connected to the capacitor side and prevents a reverse current from flowing from the second terminal side to the first terminal side; and a switching element for capacitor charging that is turned ON in synchronization with a command signal that turns the upper arm switching element ON.

  • Publication number: 20040268332
    Abstract: An invalid memory access detection program early detects invalid memory access caused by a program operating in a system in which memory access can be freely performed, said program being called from a program operating in a system in which invalid memory access does not occur. An execution program of the Java VM executes a Java byte code that has been read. A native method library execution module calls a native method library, and executes it. During or after the execution of the native method library, an invalid memory access detection module checks a memory area reserved by the memory reservation module, and thereby detects invalid memory access caused by the native method library.
