Embodiment Construction
[0013] Simplified schematic of a power transistor with its sense emitter and thermal control circuitry such as figure 1 shown. The sensing emitter 10 and the power transistor 12 share a base 11 . A current source biases the sense emitter at a current I 1 , so that the emitter-base potential is zero at the desired extreme temperature. The operational amplifier 14 acts as a controller. When the potential of the sense emitter 10 is lower than the potential of the base 11, the output of the op amp is high and is prevented by a diode 15 from coupling to the base circuit. If the sense emitter potential rises to the base potential, the output potential of the op amp will drop, absorbing the drive to the base through this diode. It is convenient to zero the sensing potential at extreme temperatures. A non-zero value would require a reference voltage to be generated at the input circuit of the op amp. If protecting the power transistors was the only consideration, the design of ...
