9. Trip Signal Synthesis Circuit
●
Fig. 9-1 shows the trip signal synthesis circuit.
This circuit is provided to stop the drive signal, etc. according to whether or not the Ip cut signal or reset
signal is present.
●
Table 9-1 shows to which circuits the various modulation signals are transferred.
For example, the chopper signal is only transferred to the upper arm transistor drive circuit, and the reset
signal is transferred to the micro computer and upper and lower arm transistor drive circuits.

of the HIC-1 change from "Lo" to "Hi" alternately and supply the voltage
to PQ501-PQ503 and PQ601-PQ603.
●
The chopper signal from the micro computer is inverted by Q1 and turns PQ501, PQ502 or PQ503 ON
or OF to which voltage is applied at a high frequency to supply curent, thus transferring the upper arm
drive signal.
●
When the reset voltage is "Lo", the base of Q2 goes “Lo”, to turn Q2 OFF and also stops the operation
current of PQ601-PQ603 to switch OFF the lower arm drive signal. With the upper arm transistor drive
circuit, the base of Q1 goes “Lo”, and the micro computer stop supplying a voltage to PQ501-PQ503, thus
switching OFF the drive signal.
●
The peak current cut off (Ip cut) signal fixes the base of Q1 and Q2 in the upper/lower arm transistor drive
circuits at “Lo” to switch OFF the drive signal in the same way as when the reset voltage is “Lo”.
