SWITCH CONTROL DEVICE, BATTERY PACK AND VEHICLE INCLUDING THE SAME

The present disclosure relates to a switch control device, and a battery pack and a vehicle including the same. The switch control device may include: a controller configured to output a control signal controlling opening and closing of a switch; a switch driver configured to output a driving signal controlling opening and closing of the switch to the switch according to the control signal; and a counter connected between an output terminal of the switch driver and the switch, configured to receive a state signal indicating an operating state of the controller from the controller, and to count the number of times that the switch is operated in an open or closed state by the driving signal when the state signal indicates an abnormal state of the controller. The controller may be further configured to detect the number of malfunctions of the switch while the controller operates in an abnormal state based on the number of times.
