  • Boost Converter Apparatus And Method
    Publication number: 20160079850
    Abstract: A boost circuit includes a transistor that switches on and off a boost converter. A temperature from a sensor is received and the temperature is the temperature of the boost circuit. The transistor is selectively switched on and off to cut the current to a boost supply based upon temperature.

  • Diagnostic circuit for vehicle device control module
    Publication number: 20030214308
    Abstract: A control module for a vehicle device control system contains a diagnostic circuit with one or more ASICs having a plurality of loops. The loops may contain either a squib, forming a squib loop, or a replacement resistor, forming a replacement resistor loop. A multiplexer connected to one loop of the ASIC diagnoses all of the replacement resistor loops. By using a multiplexer to detect replacement resistors, the invention eliminates the need to include an additional ASIC just to diagnose the replacement resistor loops.
