Abstract
A semiconductor device that compensates for imbalance between a plurality of semiconductor elements connected in parallel by negative feedback to achieve current balance utilizing reversed temperature characteristics without providing any dedicated element just for cancelling temperature characteristics. A gate driving circuit turns ON a power semiconductor element by applying a voltage elevated by a charge pump (CP) circuit to a gate through a resistor connected between the CP circuit and the gate. The power semiconductor element is turned OFF by control circuit that gives a control signal to turn ON a MOS switch in the gate driving circuit and discharges the gate through a diode.
