ELECTRONIC CONTROL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ELECTRONIC CONTROL DEVICE

Provided is an electronic control device that drives and controls a fuel injection valve, the electronic control device increasing a boost current of a booster circuit only in a scene where boosting energy needs to be increased by short-time boosting, and reducing the boost current of the booster circuit in other scenes. The electronic control device including; a booster circuit; a boost setting controller that holds boost control information of the booster circuit; a boost controller that controls an energizing current of the booster circuit based on a current setting value from the boost setting controller; and a fuel injection circuit that supplies current to a fuel injection valve using voltage generated by the booster circuit, in which the boost setting controller reduces a boost speed of the booster circuit when information on engine temperature is higher than a predetermined value.
