Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a power supply device of a system contained inside a vehicle. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to a technique for implementing a switching function in place of a switching circuit which limits the power of a battery. The power supply device, according to the present disclosure, determines the start state of the system using a change in the state of a start signal of the vehicle, and supplies power or stops the supply of power according to the determined start state.

Claims (17)

1. A power supply device of a vehicle-related system capable of operating even when a vehicle start is turned off, the power supply device comprising an integrated chip, wherein the integrated chip is configured to:

receive power from a battery module of a vehicle and supply driving power to a controller in the vehicle-related system,

receive a start signal of the vehicle;

perform internal communication with the controller of the vehicle-related system via a bus between the power supply device and the controller;

determine a start state of the vehicle-related system based on at least one of a state change of the received start signal and whether of receiving a communication signal output from the controller of the vehicle-related system; and

supply power in case of a system-on, and stop the supply of the power in case of a system-off,

wherein the start signal is a pulse signal, wherein the pulse signal is generated in response to pressing of a start button or an ignition button, and

wherein the start signal is the pulse signal, which is generated in response to pressing the start button or the ignition button, having a pulse width of a period during which a second state is maintained, and the integrated chip compares the pulse width with a preset reference width and determines whether of the system-on according to the comparison result.

2. The power supply device of claim 1 , wherein the integrated chip determines that the vehicle-related system is the system-on in response to the pulse width being greater than or equal to the reference width, and maintains the system-off in response to the pulse width being less than the reference width.

3. The power supply device of claim 2 , wherein the integrated chip maintains the system-on state even if the start signal is received after the system-on is determined.

4. The power supply device of claim 1 , wherein the integrated chip further determines whether of the system-on based on whether the start signal is switched from a first state to a second state in a system-off state and whether of receiving a response signal output from the controller at a preset booting response time after the start signal is switched from the first state to the second state.

5. The power supply device of claim 4 , wherein the integrated chip determines from the system-off to the system-on in response to the start signal being switched from the first state to the second state, and, in response to the response signal being not received in a state of the system-on, determines from the system-on to the system-off after the booting response time elapses.

6. The power supply device of claim 1 , wherein the integrated chip further determines from the system-on to the system-off in response to an off request signal output from the controller being received in a state of the system-on.

7. The power supply device of claim 6 , wherein the start signal is a non-pulse signal generated in response to pressing the start button or the ignition button, and the integrated chip determines from the system-on to the system-off based on whether the start signal is switched from the second state to the first state in a system-on state and whether of receiving the off request signal at a preset off response time after the start signal is switched from the second state to the first state.

8. The power supply device of claim 7 , wherein the integrated chip determines from the system-on to the system-off in response to the off request signal being received within the off response time from when the start signal is switched from the second state to the first state, and maintains the system-on in response to the off request signal being not received.

9. The power supply device of claim 1 , wherein the integrated chip further checks whether an operation disable signal output by the controller is received in a state of the system-on,

wherein the integrated chip determines from the system-on to the system-off in response to the operation disable signal being received, and maintains the system-off even in response to the start signal being received after the system-off is determined.
