Electronic control device for in-vehicle use
An electronic control device including a first power supply path that supplies power from a battery for in-vehicle use through an electric power supply terminal, to a load; a first disconnecting part in the first power supply path and performs connection/cutoff of the first power supply path; a second power supply path that supplies power from the battery for in-vehicle use, to a control part that controls the first disconnecting part, through a control power supply terminal and a power supply IC; a third power supply path that supplies power from the control power supply terminal, to a connecting point between the first disconnecting part and the load in the first power supply path from a point between the control power supply terminal and the power supply IC in the second power supply path; a second disconnecting part that is provided in the third power supply path and performs connection/cutoff of the third power supply path; and a detecting part that detects a voltage in the first power supply path.
1. An electronic control device for in-vehicle use that operates by receiving electric power supply from a battery for in-vehicle use, the electronic control device for in-vehicle use comprising:
a first electric power supply path that supplies electric power to a load, the electric power being supplied from the battery for in-vehicle use through an electric power supply terminal;
a first disconnecting part that performs connection/cutoff of the first electric power supply path, the first disconnecting part being provided in the first electric power supply path;
a second electric power supply path that supplies electric power to a control part through a control power supply terminal and a power supply IC, the electric power being supplied from the battery for in-vehicle use, and the control part controlling the first disconnecting part;
a third electric power supply path that supplies electric power to a connecting point between the first disconnecting part and the load in the first electric power supply path from a point between the control power supply terminal and the power supply IC in the second electric power supply path, the electric power being supplied through the control power supply terminal;
a second disconnecting part that performs connection/cutoff of the third electric power supply path, the second disconnecting part being provided in the third electric power supply path; and
a detecting part that detects a voltage in the first electric power supply path.
2. The electronic control device for in-vehicle use according to claim 1 , wherein the control part supplies electric power to the load from the battery for in-vehicle use by controlling the second disconnecting part to connect the third electric power supply path to the control power supply terminal, based on the voltage in the first electric power supply path detected by the detecting part.
3. The electronic control device for in-vehicle use according to claim 2 , wherein the control part supplies electric power to the load from the battery for in-vehicle use by controlling the first disconnecting part to cut off the first electric power supply path and controlling the second disconnecting part to connect the third electric power supply path to the control power supply terminal, based on the voltage in the first electric power supply path detected by the detecting part.
4. The electronic control device for in-vehicle use according to claim 3 , wherein the control part cuts off the first electric power supply path using the first disconnecting part when the voltage in the first electric power supply path detected by the detecting part has reached less than or equal to a predetermined voltage.
5. The electronic control device for in-vehicle use according claim 1 , comprising:
a first power path capable of supplying drive power from the battery for in-vehicle use, the first power path including a first diode whose anode is connected to the first electric power supply path, and the drive power driving the control part; and
a second power path capable of supplying the drive power to the control part from the battery for in-vehicle use, the second power path including a second diode whose anode is connected between the second disconnecting part and the control power supply terminal and whose cathode is connected to a cathode of the first diode.
6. The electronic control device for in-vehicle use according to claim 5 , wherein when a voltage is applied to the second power path, the power supply IC starts supply of the drive power supply power to the control part through a connecting point between the first power path and the second power path.
