Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a temperature detection circuit, and in particular to temperature detection of switching elements constituting an inverter device. Background technique
[0002] An electric motor is used as a power source of a hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle combined with an engine. When driving a motor, an inverter is used to obtain a predetermined torque and frequency. Inverters are installed in automobiles, and miniaturization and high power are required to ensure passenger space.
[0003] The operating temperature of the inverter greatly fluctuates depending on the driving environment of the vehicle. In particular, in a hybrid vehicle in which the inverter is mounted in the engine compartment, the inverter becomes high in temperature due to the influence of heat generated by the engine. The temperature of the switching element (hereinafter referred to as SW element) in the inverter is increased due to the constant loss cause...
