    摘要: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for monitoring a status of nodes of a communication network. The method determines first node status data at a first node by diagnosing the own status of the first node and the status of at least one second node, sends the first node status data to at least one second node, receives second node status data from at least one second node, and determines node status evaluation data at the first node based on the determined first node status data and the received second node status data. Furthermore, improvements are proposed for the sake of efficiency and/or robustness of the method.

    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.

The output transistor is connected between a voltage-input terminal to which a DC voltage is input and a voltage-output terminal. The control circuit controls the output transistor. The first-fault detection circuit detects a first fault. The second-fault detection circuit detects a second fault different from the first fault. The delay circuit delays an output of the first-fault detection circuit and an output of the second-fault detection circuit. The latch circuit captures and holds an output of the delay circuit. The delay circuit includes: a constant current source for charging a delay capacitor; a discharge switch for discharging the delay capacitor; and a voltage comparator circuit that compares a charge voltage across the delay capacitor and a predetermined voltage.

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.
