Patent number: 11940334Abstract: In a power supply control device, a temperature calculation circuit calculates a wire temperature of a wire based on the current value of a current flowing through the wire. If the wire temperature calculated by the temperature calculation circuit is lower than a temperature threshold value, a drive unit switches on or off a switch in accordance with content indicated by a control signal output by a communication unit. When the wire temperature calculated by the temperature calculation circuit rises to the temperature threshold value or higher, the drive unit switches off the switch independently of content indicated by a control signal output by the communication unit.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2019Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignees: AutoNetworks Technologies, Ltd., Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd., Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Shunichi Sawano, Masayuki Kato, Shinnosuke Nakaguchi

Patent number: 11349295Abstract: In a power supply control device, a switching device turns a main switch on or off to control supply of power via the main switch. When a battery supplies power to the switching device, a fuse is disposed in a first current path of an output current output from the switching device. A diode is disposed in a second current path of the output current different from the first current path. If a current flowing through the fuse increases to or above a first threshold, the fuse blows. If a current flowing through the diode increases to or above a second threshold, the diode blows.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2019Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignees: AutoNetworks Technologies, Ltd., Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd., Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Shinnosuke Nakaguchi, Masayuki Kato

Patent number: 10903644Abstract: Provided is a control device that stops the power supply when the first FET is short-circuited. In the control device, a boost circuit increases the voltage of one end of a resistor on the boost circuit side to a predetermined voltage that is higher than the source voltage of the first FET. An AND circuit instructs the discharge circuit to decrease the voltage at the other end of the resistor when the voltage at the other end of the resistor is less than a threshold voltage if the AND circuit instructs the boost circuit to increase the voltage at the one end of the resistor on the boost circuit side. The threshold voltage exceeds the voltage at the one end of the resistor if the voltage at the one end of the resistor on the boost circuit is the predetermined voltage and if the first FET is short-circuited.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2019Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignees: AutoNetworks Technologies, Ltd., Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd., Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Shinnosuke Nakaguchi, Masayuki Kato, Shunichi Sawano, Takeo Uchino
