<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an active clamp circuit with a reduced active-clamp operation period and improved ESD resistance. <P>SOLUTION: An active clamp circuit includes a first switch element, a first diode, a first resistor, and first and second control circuits. The first diode breaks down by overvoltage across the first switch element. The first resistor detects a current flowing through the first diode. The first control circuit amplifies a voltage across the first resistor and controls a current flowing through the first switch element. The second control circuit controls the conduction of the first switch element according to the voltage across the first resistor. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
