Further, since the level shift driver 19 outputs a gate signal instructing to turn off, the switching elements Q1 and Q2 are turned off. As a result, the output terminal 9 is set to the L level via the load 7. That is, since the resistance value of the load 7 is usually a low resistance on the order of 10 ⁇ , the potential of the output terminal 9 is pulled down by the load 7. On the other hand, when the input terminal 22 becomes H (High) level under a normal state, the switching element Q3 is turned off by the logic circuit 17 and the state output terminal 24 becomes H level. Further, since the level shift driver 19 outputs a gate signal instructing to turn on, the switching elements Q1 and Q2 are turned on.

- the voltage Id ⁇ Rp satisfies Id ⁇ Rp> Vth (n) with respect to the threshold voltage Vth (n) of the switching element Q1. Since the constant current Id and the value Rr of the resistor 31 are set so that the switch element Q4 is turned on, the switch element Q4 is turned on as the load is released.
- the logic circuit 17 turns off the switching element Q3 based on the ON operation of the switching element Q4, and as a result, the state output terminal 24 becomes H level. Therefore, the microcomputer 26 determines a load abnormality based on an abnormality that the state output terminal 24 becomes H level when the input terminal 22 is L level.
- the relationship of Vcc ⁇ Id ⁇ Rp> Vth (p) (or, by shifting, Vcc ⁇ Vth (p)> Id ⁇ Rp) is set so as to satisfy the switching element Q5 when the load is released. Is turned on. Note that it is not possible to distinguish whether the load is released or a power fault only when the switch element Q4 is turned on (both switch elements Q4 are turned on). Therefore, the judgment of the load release is made together with the output of the power fault detection circuit 25.

- a voltage Vcc ⁇ Rs / (Rs + Rq) obtained by dividing the power supply voltage Vcc by the value Rq of the power supply resistance 39 indicated by a dotted line and the resistance value Rs of the load 7 is generated as the voltage Vout of the output terminal 9 (Rr>Since> Rs, the resistance value of the parallel resistance of Rr and Rs is almost Rs, and Rr can be ignored.

Therefore, at the time of a power fault, the switch element Q5 is turned on, An H level power detection signal is output from the drain terminal of the switch element Q5.
- the logic circuit 17 to which the power supply detection signal is input activates the built-in oscillator and turns on / off the switching element Q3 by a clock pulse with a predetermined frequency output from the oscillator. As a result, the state output terminal 24 outputs a pulse signal having the predetermined frequency. Therefore, the microcomputer 26 determines a power fault based on this pulse signal.
- the logic circuit 17 determines that the load release detection circuit has detected the load release if no power supply detection signal is output from the power supply detection circuit 25. .
- the current flowing through the load 7 is the same as the current flowing through the switching element Q1 shown in FIG.
- the current in the saturation region of the Nch-MOSFET that constitutes the switching element Q1 (the load driving circuit 1 is normally designed so that the Nch-MOSFET operates in the saturation region) is almost specified by the gate-source voltage. (The current value is a monotonically increasing function with respect to the gate-source voltage).
- the gate-source voltage of the MOSFET constituting the switching element Q1 becomes large.
- the gate-source voltage of the Nch-MOSFET constituting the switching element Q2 becomes a constant voltage value determined by the current value of the constant current element 11.
- the overcurrent detection circuit 23 includes an operational amplifier that amplifies the difference between the source voltages of the switching elements Q1 and Q2, and outputs a logical level overcurrent detection signal from the operational amplifier. That is, when the source voltage of the switching element Q1 is lower, the gate-source voltage of the switching element Q1 is larger than that of the switching element Q2, and the size represents (size of the switching element Q1 / size of the switching element Q2).
- the logic circuit 17 When the ratio is n and the constant current value flowing through the constant current element 11 is Io, it can be determined that the current flowing through the switching element Q1 is larger than nIo, that is, an overcurrent state, and an overcurrent detection signal is output. Therefore, the logic circuit 17 turns on the switching element Q3 based on the overcurrent detection signal, and as a result, the state output terminal 24 becomes L level. Further, the logic circuit 17 turns off the switching elements Q1 and Q2 based on the overcurrent detection signal, and as a result, the output terminal 9 becomes L level.
- the microcomputer 26 determines overcurrent or overheating based on the abnormality that the state output terminal 24 becomes L level when the input terminal 22 is H level.

- the microcomputer 26 determines an overvoltage based on the H level of the state output terminal 24 and the L level of the output terminal 9. Therefore, the overvoltage is determined independently.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating the above-described determination operation.
- the voltage Vout at the output terminal 9 is equal to or lower than the threshold voltage Vth (n) of the switch element Q4 in a state where the switching element Q1 is turned off, it is determined that it is in a normal state. Is done. Since the voltage Vout becomes larger than the threshold voltage Vth (n) of the switch element Q4, a load abnormality such as an open load or a power fault is detected.

- the “current oscillation mode” described in the above table is turned off when the switching element Q1 is turned on and the current reaches a predetermined value in order to suppress the loss until the normal operation is restored after the overcurrent is detected. By repeating this, it means that the current flowing in the negative excess 7 is made into an oscillation waveform and is made to stand by.
- the state of open load includes not only a state where the output terminal and the load are completely opened, but also a state where the resistance is not infinite.

Abstract
Description
前記天絡検出回路が天絡を検出したときに、所定周波数のパルス信号を天絡状態を示す信号として発生する発振器を備えるようにしても良い。
前記負荷の天絡に伴う前記出力端子の電圧は、例えば、天絡の抵抗値と前記負荷の抵抗値とで前記電源の電圧値を分圧することによって規定される。
前記負荷開放検出回路は、前記第1の閾値電圧を有するNch-MOSFETを備え、該Nch-MOSFETのオン動作に基づいて前記出力端子の電圧が前記第1の閾値電圧の値よりも大きいことを検出するように構成することができる。
電源端子3と出力端子9間には、Nch-MOSFET(Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor)からなるスイッチング素子Q1が介在され、また、電源端子3と接地端子4間には、Nch-MOSFETからなるスイッチング素子Q2と定電流素子11が直列接続されている。
過熱検出回路13は、スイッチング素子Q1の過熱を検出し、その検出結果をロジック回路17に出力する。この過熱検出回路13は、例えばダイオードの順方向電圧の温度依存性を利用して過熱を検出するように構成することができる。
過電圧検出回路15は、直流電源5の出力電圧Vccが過大になったことを検出し、その検出結果をロジック回路17に出力する。レベルシフトドライバー19は、ロジック回路17から出力されるオンオフ信号をレベルシフトし、そのレベルシフト信号をスイッチング素子Q1、Q2のゲート端子に出力する。
なお、ダイオードD1,D8はそれぞれスイッチング素子Q1、Q8の寄生ダイオードである。ダイオードD2,D3,D4,D5はスイッチング素子Q1,Q2のゲート保護のために設けられている。また、ダイオードD6はロジック回路17の保護のため、ダイオードD7はスイッチチング素子Q3の保護のためのために設けられている。
負荷異常検出回路21は、図2に示すように、Nch-MOSFETからなるスイッチ素子Q4と、電源端子3と出力端子9間に接続された定電流素子27と、スイッチ素子Q4のゲート端子と出力端子9間に接続した抵抗29と、該ゲート端子と接地点間に接続された保護用ダイオードD9とを備えている。また、過電流検出回路23は、出力端子9の電圧と、図1に示すスイッチング素子Q2と定電流素子11の直列接続点の電圧とを比較する比較器を内蔵して、スイッチング素子Q1,Q2がオンしているときの両者のソース電圧を比較している。すなわち、後述のように、両者のゲート電圧が共通なので両者のゲート・ソース間電圧を比較することになり、これによりスイッチング素子Q1,Q2に流れる電流を間接的に比較して過電流を判断するのである。
一方、正常状態下で入力端子22がH(High)レベルになると、ロジック回路17によってスイッチング素子Q3がオフされて状態出力端子24がHレベルになる。また、レベルシフトドライバー19がオンを指示するゲート信号を出力するので、スイッチング素子Q1、Q2がオンされ、その結果、出力端子9がHレベルになって負荷7に電流が流れる。
図2において、負荷開放時には、負荷開放抵抗(出力端子9から開放負荷7側を見た抵抗)と抵抗31とが出力端子9と接地点間に並列接続され、この並列合成抵抗に定電流素子27による定電流が流れることになる。従って、上記定電流の値をId、上記並列合成抵抗の値をRpとすると、出力端子9にはVout=Id・Rpという電圧が発生する。
そこで、マイコン26は、入力端子22がLレベルであるときに状態出力端子24がHレベルになるという異常に基づいて、負荷異常を判定する。
ここで、上記電圧Vout=Id・Rpは、電源電圧Vccとの差Vcc-Id×Rpが天絡検出回路25のPch-MOSFETからなるスイッチ素子Q5の閾値電圧Vth(p)以下にならないように、つまり、Vcc-Id×Rp>Vth(p)(もしくは、移項して、Vcc-Vth(p)>Id×Rp)という関係が満たされるように設定され、これにより、負荷開放時にスイッチ素子Q5がオンすることが回避される。
なお、スイッチ素子Q4がオンしただけでは負荷開放か天絡かの区別はできないので(いずれもスイッチ素子Q4がオンする)、負荷開放の判断は天絡検出回路25の出力と合わせて行われる。
天絡時には、電源電圧Vccを点線で示す天絡抵抗39の値Rqと負荷7の抵抗値Rsで分圧した電圧Vcc×Rs/(Rs+Rq)が出力端子9の電圧Voutとして発生する(Rr>>Rsなので、RrとRsの並列抵抗の抵抗値はほとんどRsとなり、Rrは無視できる。)。
本実施形態では、想定される天絡抵抗39の値Rqの最大値および負荷7の抵抗値Rsの最小値を考慮して、電圧Vcc-(Vcc×Rs/(Rs+Rq))がスイッチ素子Q5の閾値電圧Vth(p)に対してVcc×Rq/(Rs+Rq)<Vth(p)となるように電源電圧Vccの範囲を設定してある、従って、天絡時には、スイッチ素子Q5がオンされて、該スイッチ素子Q5のドレイン端子からHレベルの天絡検出信号が出力される。
上記天絡検出信号が入力されたロジック回路17は、内蔵するオシレータを起動して,該オシレータから出力される所定周波数のクロックパルスによってスイッチング素子Q3をオンオフ動作させる。この結果、状態出力端子24からは上記所定周波数のパルス信号が出力される。そこで、マイコン26は、このパルス信号に基づいて天絡を判定する。
また、ロジック回路17は、スイッチ素子Q4がオンして負荷異常を検出したときに、天絡検出回路25から天絡検出信号が出力されないと、負荷開放検出回路が負荷開放を検出したと判断する。
一方、スイッチチング素子Q2を構成するNch-MOSFETのゲート・ソース間電圧は定電流素子11の電流値によって定まる定電圧値となる。スイッチチング素子Q1,Q2のゲート電圧が等しいので、両者のゲート・ソース間電圧は両者のソース電圧により比較することができる。
過電流検出回路23は、スイッチチング素子Q1,Q2のソース電圧の差分を増幅する演算増幅器を備え、この演算増幅器から論理レベルの過電流検出信号を出力させる。すなわち、スイッチチング素子Q1のソース電圧の方が低いと、スイッチングチング素子Q1のゲート・ソース電圧がスイッチチング素子Q2のそれより大きく、(スイッチング素子Q1のサイズ/スイッチング素子Q2のサイズ)を表すサイズ比をn、定電流素子11に流れる定電流値をIoとすると、スイッチチング素子Q1に流れる電流がnIoより大きい、すなわち過電流状態と判断することができ、過電流検出信号を出力する。そこで、ロジック回路17は、この過電流検出信号に基づいてスイッチング素子Q3をオンさせ、その結果、状態出力端子24がLレベルとなる。また、ロジック回路17は、過電流検出信号に基づいてスイッチング素子Q1、Q2をオフさせ、その結果、出力端子9がLレベルとなる。
一方、過熱検出回路13がスイッチング素子Q1の過熱を検出した場合においても、スイッチング素子Q3がオンされて状態出力端子24がLレベルとなり、また、スイッチング素子Q1、Q2がオフされて出力端子9がLレベルとなる。
そこで、マイコン26は、入力端子22がHレベルであるときに状態出力端子24がLレベルになるという異常に基づいて、過電流もしくは過熱を判定する。
この場合、マイコン26は、状態出力端子24のHレベルと出力端子9のLレベルに基づいて過電圧を判定する。したがって、過電圧に関しては独立に判定されることになる。
なお、上記表に記載の「自己復帰」は、検出された異常の発生原因が取り除かれて正常化された場合に、特に電気的リセット操作を行うことなく通常動作に自動復帰することを意味している。また、上記表に記載の「電流発振モード」は、過電流検出後から通常動作に復帰するまでの間、損失を抑えるために、スイッチング素子Q1をオンにしてその電流が所定値に達したらオフするということを繰り返すことにより、負過7に流れる電流を発振波形にして待機させることを意味している。
