摘要:
In an electronic control unit for an anti-lock brake control system, a microcomputer communicates data to a peripheral IC. The peripheral IC monitors a fault of the microcomputer based on data received from the microcomputer. The monitoring operation may be executed by measuring an interval of calculation, calculation result and sequence of data transmitted from the microcomputer.
摘要:
A load drive apparatus for an electric load has a plurality of switching circuits having respective power MOS transistors and connected in parallel with each other to drive an electric load. The switching circuits have INH input/output terminals for driving ON/OFF of the power MOS transistors. When a high voltage detecting unit detects that a power-source voltage is high, the high voltage detecting unit outputs a high level to turn off the power MOS transistors. The MOS transistor of one switching circuits turns on and the voltage of the INH input/output terminal of the same switching circuit becomes low. Thereby, the INH input/output terminal of another switching circuits becomes low to turn off simultaneously the power MOS transistor of another switching circuit.
