  • Patent number: 5973416
    Abstract: The power supply to a load in a power supply circuit is controlled by a power supply switch which in turn is controlled by a control circuit and by a feedback signal representing a voltage drop across the load. The control circuit provides at its output a high level signal, a low level signal, and a high impedance signal level, whereby the high signal level initially closes the power supply switch, and the feedback signal normally keeps the power supply switch in its closed "ON-state" as long as said high impedance level prevails. The switch is caused to open and assume its "OFF-state" in response to a circuit fault as signified by said feedback signal or in response to said low level signal. A monitor detects the "ON" or "OFF" state of the switch under normal operating conditions and also the "OFF" state when a circuit fault such as a short occurred in the power supply circuit.
