20100097737 | LOAD DRIVING DEVICE - A load driving device including a semiconductor switch arranged in a current path extending from a power supply to a load. A control circuit controls activation and deactivation of the semiconductor switch. The control circuit deactivates the semiconductor switch when it is determined that overcurrent is flowing through the current path. A current detector detects current that is flowing through the current path. The control circuit determines that overcurrent is flowing when the current detector continuously detects current that is greater than a threshold value over a predetermined detection time. The detection time is set to be shorter than the time from when the current in the current path exceeds the threshold value to when an increase in resistance value of the semiconductor switch resulting from heat generated by the current lowers the current to the threshold value. | 04-22-2010 |
