LOAD DRIVING DEVICE, ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND VEHICLE
DRIVE
March 26, 2026
The present disclosure provides a load driving device. The load driving device includes a load, a resistor configured to be connected in parallel to the load, and a switch device. The switch device includes an output terminal, a ground terminal, a first switch element and an abnormality detection circuit. The output terminal is configured to connect the load and the resistor. The ground terminal is configured to connect to a ground potential. The first switch element is configured to be connected between the output terminal and the ground terminal. The abnormality detection circuit is configured to distinguish between a load open at the output terminal and a ground fault at the output terminal based on a magnitude relationship between an output current flowing through the first switch element, a first threshold value and a second threshold value greater than the first threshold value.
