    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: Provided is an electronic control unit capable of performing a high-accurate failure diagnosis in a short time as an electronic control unit having a failure diagnosis function. A load drive circuit that drives a load, a control circuit that controls the load drive circuit, and a diagnosis circuit that diagnoses an output state of the load drive circuit and outputs a diagnostic result to the control circuit are provided. The diagnosis circuit outputs a diagnosis completion flag indicating whether or not there is a diagnosis opportunity to the control circuit.

    Abstract: Provided is a load drive slope control device that can reduce EMI noise, and power loss and heat generation when a drive transistor is turned on and off, and can prevent excessive high temperature-induced damage to the drive transistor at an excessive high temperature. Disclosed is a load drive control device including: a drive transistor that drives a load; a pre-driver that drives the drive transistor via an ON/OFF control terminal of the drive transistor; a capacitor that is connected to an input side of the pre-driver, a first current source that is ON/OFF controlled by a first signal, and generates current which is charged to the capacitor; and a second current source that is ON/OFF controlled by a second signal, and generates current for discharging the capacitor, in which an output voltage from the pre-driver is changed by charging or discharging the capacitor, the drive transistor is turned on and off by the output voltage from the pre-driver, and a linear ascending gradient and a linear descending gradient of the waveform of a voltage driving the load are obtained by turning on and off the drive transistor.
