CONTROL APPARATUS

A control apparatus (100) comprises a switch IC (130) disposed on a multi-layer printed circuit board (150) having N (N is an integer equal to or greater than 3) wiring layers (L1 - L4). The switch IC (130) is an IC package including a semiconductor switch (131) for driving a resistive load (300). [...

Zusammenfassung:A control apparatus (100) comprises a switch IC (130) disposed on a multi-layer printed circuit board (150) having N (N is an integer equal to or greater than 3) wiring layers (L1 - L4). The switch IC (130) is an IC package including a semiconductor switch (131) for driving a resistive load (300). [Problem] When the insulating layers of a printed circuit board are overheated and carbonized by the heat generated from a broken semiconductor switch and a short circuit is formed between conductor traces, a large leak current flows therethrough. [Means for Solution] When M (M is an integer which is not less than 2 but not greater than N) wiring layers (counted from the front surface on which a switch IC is mounted) of the N (N is an integer equal to or greater than 3) wiring layers of a printed circuit board and the switch IC are projected in the thickness direction of the printed circuit board, in a region which overlaps with the die of the semiconductor switch of the switch IC, (i) a current path trace on the high voltage side of the semiconductor switch is present, and (ii) a signal ground connection wiring trace and a current path trace on the low voltage side of the semiconductor switch are not present.
