Abstract

The protective circuit is intended for a switching transistor whose emitter-collector path is in series with a high inductance coil. Parallel to the base collector path of the transistor (3) are connected two Zener diodes (7, 8). Their breakdown voltage (UZ) is lower than the permitted emitter-collector voltage (UCE) of the transistor. It is, however, higher than the operating voltage (Ua) effective at the series connection of the transistor and coil (4). This reduces the time required for reduction of the magnetic field of the coil and prevents appearance of undesirable high voltages at the transistor.

Patentanmeldung Schutzordnua für einen Schalt-Transistor Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schutzanordnung für einen im Schalterbetrieb arbeitenden Transistor, dessen Emitter-Eollektor-Strecke mit einer eine hohe Induktivität aufweisenden Spule in Reihe liegt.Patent application protection order for a switching transistor The invention relates to a protection arrangement for a transistor operating in switch mode, its emitter-collector path with a high inductance coil is in series.

Wenn ein derartiger Schalt-Transistor mit einer an seinen Eingang gelegten Steuerspannung gesperrt wird, so entsteht zwischen seinen Kollektor und seinem Emitter eine Spannung, welche größer als die an der Reihenschaltung aus der Emitter-Kollektor-Strecke und der Spule liegende Betriebsspannung ist. Damit diese Spannung den zulässigen Höchstwert der Emitter-Kollektor-Spannung des Transistors nicht überschreiten kann, ist es bereits bekannt, parallel zur Spule eine sogenannte Löschdiode anzuordnen. Dann kann der seither in der Spule fließende Strom über den Sperrzeitpunkt hinaus durch die Diode hindurch weiterfließen. Hierdurch verzögert sich jedoch die Abbauzeit des Magnetfeldes in der Spule beträchtlich.If such a switching transistor with a at its input applied control voltage is blocked, so arises between its collector and its emitter has a voltage which is greater than that at the series connection from the Emitter-collector path and the coil lying operating voltage is. So that these Voltage the maximum permissible value of the emitter-collector voltage of the transistor can not exceed, it is already known, parallel to the coil a so-called To arrange quenching diode. Then the current that has been flowing in the coil since then can use the Flow through the diode beyond the blocking time. This delayed However, the breakdown time of the magnetic field in the coil is considerable.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die für den Abbau des Magnetfeldes der Spule erforderliche Zeit erheblich zu verkürzen und das Auftreten von unzulässig hohen Spannungen am Transistor zu verhindern. Hierzu wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, daß parallel zur Basis-Kollektor-Strecke des Transistors wenigstens eine Zenerdiode angeordnet ist, deren Durchbruchs spannung kleiner als die zulässige Emitter-Kollektor-Spannung minus UBE des Transistors, jedoch größer als die an der Reihenschaltung aus Transistor und Spule wirksame Betriebsspannung ist.The invention is based on the task of reducing the magnetic field considerably shorten the time required for the coil and the occurrence of impermissible to prevent high voltages on the transistor. For this purpose, it is proposed according to the invention, that parallel to the base-collector path of the transistor at least one Zener diode is arranged whose breakdown voltage is less than the permissible emitter-collector voltage minus UBE of the transistor, but greater than that on the series connection of the transistor and coil is the effective operating voltage.

In der Zeichnung ist eine erfindungsgemäße Schutzanordnung in ihrem Schaltbild dargestellt.In the drawing, a protection arrangement according to the invention is in its Circuit diagram shown.

Danach liegt zwischen einer Plusleitung 1 und einer Minusleitung 2, die beide mit einer nicht dargestellten, eine Betriebsspannung U liefernden a Stromquelle verbunden sind, ein im Schalterbetrieb arbeitender Transistor und in Reihe dazu eine Spule 4, die eine erhebliche Induktivität aufweist und beispielsweise zur Erregung eines nicht dargestellten Schaltrelais dient. Der Transistor 3 ist mit seinem Emitter unmittelbar an die Minusleitung 2 angeschlossen. Er liefert in leitendem Zustand einen Speisestrom für die Spule 4, welche dann ein beträchtliches Magnetfeld erzeugt.Then there is a plus line 1 and a minus line 2, the two with a power source, not shown, delivering an operating voltage U. are connected, a transistor operating in switch mode and in series with it a coil 4, which has a significant inductance and, for example, for excitation a switching relay, not shown, is used. The transistor 3 is with its emitter connected directly to negative line 2. It delivers in a conductive state a feed current for the coil 4, which then generates a considerable magnetic field.

Um den Transistor 3 in seinen Sperrzustand zu steuern, kann seiner Basis über einen Vorwiderstanc 6 eine Sperrspannung zugeführt werden. Um zu verhindern, daß an dem Schalttransistor 3 beim Sperrvorgang eine unzulässig hohe Spannung auftritt, welche zur Zerstörung des Schalttransistors führen könnte, ist parallel zur Basis-Kollektor-Strecke des Transistors 3 die Reihenschaltung aus zwei Zenerdioden 7 und 8 vorgesehen. Diese beiden Zenerdioden haben eine Durchbruchsspannung UZ, die kleiner oder höchstens gleich groß wie die höchst zulässige KollektorEmitter-Spannung UCE minus UBE des Transistors 3 ist, jedoch größer als die Betriebsspannung U ist. Hiera durch wird erreicht, daß die Kollektor-Emitter-Spannung UCE sich auf den Wert Uz + UBE einstellt, wobei UBE die Basis-Rmitter-Spannung ist. Wenn für die Dimensionierung Uz + UBE = UCE max. gewählt wird, so erhält man die minimale Abschaltzeit für den die Spule 4 durchfließenden Strom. Es ist daher durch Auswahl der Zenerdioden eine optimale Anpassung an die jeweils vorherrschenden Verhältnisse möglich.To control the transistor 3 in its blocking state, its A reverse voltage can be supplied to the base via a pre-resistor 6. To prevent, that an impermissibly high voltage occurs at the switching transistor 3 during the blocking process, which could lead to the destruction of the switching transistor, is parallel to the base-collector path of the transistor 3, the series connection of two Zener diodes 7 and 8 is provided. These both Zener diodes have a breakdown voltage UZ that is smaller or at most equal to the maximum permissible collector-emitter voltage UCE minus UBE des Transistor 3 is, but greater than the operating voltage U is. Hiera is going through achieves that the collector-emitter voltage UCE adjusts to the value Uz + UBE, where UBE is the base Rmitter voltage. If for the dimensioning Uz + UBE = UCE max. Is selected, the minimum switch-off time for which the coil is obtained 4 current flowing through it. It is therefore an optimal one by selecting the Zener diodes Adaptation to the prevailing conditions is possible.
