    Abstract: A power supply apparatus that can realize ripple reduction, and an electronic control unit including the power supply apparatus are provided. In view of this, a PWM controller generates a PWM signal, and a PFM controller generates a PFM signal having a phase independent of the PWM signal. A level-fixed period generating circuit sets a level-fixed period having a start timing at a selection timing set to an edge of the PFM signal. A mode selecting circuit selects, at the selection timing and as a switching control signal, the PWM signal instead of the PFM signal, and controls a logic level of the switching control signal in the level-fixed period starting at the selection timing, such that the logic level becomes a fixed logic level.

    Abstract: A load driving device includes a synchronous rectifier circuit having a driving-side switching element and a reflux-side switching element; a driver control circuit controls the synchronous rectifier circuit; and a voltage monitor circuit that monitors whether the voltage of an output terminal of the synchronous rectifier circuit is within a predetermined voltage range; where the driver control circuit, upon receiving a diagnosis command, performs control so that when the driving-side switching element is switched from ON to OFF, the reflux-Side switching element is also switched to OFF; and the voltage monitor circuit detects a normal state when the voltage to be monitored is within a normal level during a period in which both the driving-side switching element and the reflux-side switching element are turned OFF.

    Abstract: An electronic control device has a compact abnormality detection circuit that does not require a complicated circuit, and is capable of suppressing a cost increase when being applied a direct injection injector drive circuit and other drive circuits. A current detection circuit includes a current detection resistor, a differential amplifier, and a current detection unit. The current detected is supplied to the abnormality/normality determination unit. A combined resistance value of a diagnostic current drive circuit and the current detection resistor is higher than an injector drive circuit. A fuel injection signal is input to a logic circuit, and a fuel cut signal is input to a different terminal of the logic circuit. The logic circuit's output terminal is connected to the injector drive circuit's gate. The output signal from a fuel injection signal output unit is supplied via a switch to the diagnostic current drive circuit's gate.

    Abstract: To achieve, in a load drive device including an H-bridge circuit, miniaturization of a capacitor or/and the constituent elements of the H-bridge circuit (e.g., reduction in volume) with circuit elements, for example, switching elements included in the H-bridge circuit, being inhibited from breaking down or destroying even in a case where a load is overloaded. The invention is disclosed in which, as a solution to the achievement, first and second modes are provided as a switching mode for the switching elements 11, 12, 13, and 14 and switching is appropriately performed between the first and second modes.

    Abstract: A step-up/down power supply, in which a circuit area is small, includes a step-down unit that generates an output voltage lower than an input voltage by turning on or off a step-down switch in which the input voltage of the step-up/down power supply is applied, and a step-up unit that generates an output voltage higher than the input voltage by turning on or off a step-up switch in which a ground is applied. A step-down gate voltage control circuit controls a gate voltage of the step-down switch and includes a gate voltage generating circuit that generates a first voltage and a second voltage for turning on the step-down switch. A gate voltage switching circuit switches between the first voltage and the second voltage, and the gate voltage generating circuit includes a first voltage source that generates the first voltage and a second voltage source that generates the second voltage.

    Abstract: In a vehicle control device in which a driver circuit which does not have a computing function and a computing device communicate with each other, there is provided a technology which can efficiently diagnose that both the driver circuit and the computing device normally communicate with each other by a simple technique. The vehicle control device according to the present invention transmits diagnosis data as a control command from a computing portion to the driver circuit, and the driver circuit sends inverted diagnosis data in which the diagnosis data is bit-inverted back to the computing portion. The computing portion diagnoses whether or not the communication between the computing portion and the driver circuit is normally performed, by using the diagnosis data and the inverted diagnosis data.
