  • Patent number: 11646729
    Abstract: In a first series circuit of a power supply control device, a first switch and a first resistor are connected in series. In a second series circuit, a second switch and a second resistor are connected in series. The second series circuit is connected in parallel to the first series circuit. An electric current detection circuit detects an electric current value of an electric current flowing through the first resistor. In a case where specific data is stored in a storage unit, a control unit (open failure detection unit) detects an open failure of the first switch or the second switch on the basis of the electric current value detected by the electric current detection circuit. In a case where the storage unit does not store the specific data, the control unit does not detect the open failure.

  • Patent number: 11552548
    Abstract: A power supply control device controls power supply through two branch paths branched from a common power supply path. Two N-channel FETs are respectively disposed in the two branch paths. A booster circuit outputs a voltage from a common output end, and applies a voltage to gates of the two FETs through a circuit resistor. Two charge resistors are respectively disposed in two applying paths through which a voltage is applied from the output end of the booster circuit to the gates of the two FETs. Each of two diodes are respectively connected between both ends of each of the two charge resistors. Cathodes of the two diodes are disposed on the side of the booster circuit.
