Upon the control signal input to the external terminal being at a first logic level, the logic circuit generates a signal that turns on the switching transistor and turns off the discharging transistor. Upon the control signal being at a second logic level, the logic circuit generates a signal that turns off the switching transistor and turns on the discharging transistor.

    摘要: A current detecting circuit includes a first switching element, a second switching element, and a third switching element electrically coupled in series with the first switching element. An output side of the third switching element is electrically coupled to an output terminal. The current detecting circuit includes a current amplifier configured to detect a difference between a first output voltage of the first switching element and a second output voltage of the second switching element. The current amplifier outputs a relative current to be used for detecting an output current that flows out from the output terminal. A ratio of resistance associated with the first switching element to resistance associated with the second switching element is n:1.

    摘要: A power supply semiconductor IC includes: an output transistor connected between a voltage-input terminal and a voltage-output terminal; a control circuit that controls the output transistor based on a feedback voltage of an output voltage; a current-limit circuit that limits an output current of the output transistor such that the output current is not equal to or greater than a current limit; a first transistor constituting a current-mirror circuit with the output transistor; a short-circuit-fault detection circuit that detects a short circuit of the voltage-output terminal based on a voltage across a resistor connected in series to the first transistor; and a first output terminal that outputs a detection result of the short-circuit-fault detection circuit. The current limit is within a detection range of the short-circuit-fault detection circuit. The short-circuit-fault detection circuit detects a short circuit of the voltage-output terminal even while the current limit circuit limits the output current.

    摘要: A regulator includes a transistor connected between an input and an output. A feedback voltage controls the transistor to keep the output voltage constant. A first circuit functions as a comparator to compare a detection voltage from the output of the transistor and the feedback voltage when the output current is higher than a predetermined value, and functions as a buffer when the output current is lower than the predetermined value. A second circuit receives a reference voltage, the feedback voltage, and an output from the first circuit, and generates (i) a difference between the feedback voltage and the first circuit output when the reference voltage is lower than the first circuit output, and (ii) a difference voltage between the feedback voltage and the reference voltage when the reference voltage is higher than the first circuit output, and supplies a control voltage to control the output of the transistor.

    摘要: A distributed system performs fault identification using inter-node monitoring so as to locate a fault with high reliability and ensure consistent recognition about the situation of the fault occurrence among nodes. The process is synchronized with a communication cycle. If a system does not need to perform the fault identification as often as every communication cycle, the frequency of the fault identification should be decreased so as to reduce a load for CPU processing and a consumption of a communication band per unit time.A distributed system of the present invention includes plural nodes that are connected to each other via a network. Each of the nodes includes a fault-monitoring section, a transmission and reception section, and a fault-identification section. The fault-monitoring section monitors a fault in other nodes. The transmission and reception section transmits and receives data to detect the fault in other nodes via the network. The fault-identification section identifies which node has the fault based on the data. The fault-monitoring section uses one or more communication cycles as a monitoring period; the communication cycles are synchronized between the nodes.
