Patent ID: 11474161

Abstract:
A power supply semiconductor integrated circuit includes an output transistor, a control circuit, a first-fault detection circuit, a second-fault detection circuit, a delay circuit, and a latch circuit. The output transistor is connected between a voltage-input terminal to which a DC voltage is input and a voltage-output terminal. The control circuit controls the output transistor. The first-fault detection circuit detects a first fault. The second-fault detection circuit detects a second fault different from the first fault. The delay circuit delays an output of the first-fault detection circuit and an output of the second-fault detection circuit. The latch circuit captures and holds an output of the delay circuit. The delay circuit includes: a constant current source for charging a delay capacitor; a discharge switch for discharging the delay capacitor; and a voltage comparator circuit that compares a charge voltage across the delay capacitor and a predetermined voltage.
