Abstract:
A current control device wherein a control unit instructs a drive circuit to switch on or off a FET provided in a current path is provided. Based on a detected voltage value detected by a voltage detection unit and a detected current value detected by a current sensor, the control unit estimates a resistance value in the current path after the time at which the detection is performed. The control unit calculates a resistance value by dividing a voltage value associated with the detected voltage value by a current value associated with the detected current value. Based on the estimated resistance value and a resistance value calculated using a voltage value and a current value respectively associated with a detected voltage value and a detected current value detected again after the time at which the detection was performed, the control unit determines whether or not to turn off the FET.

Claim (Index 7):
A current control method for controlling a current flowing in a current path from a battery to a load by switching on or off a switch provided in the current path, the method comprising:\n detecting a voltage value in the current path; detecting a value of a current flowing in the current path; estimating a resistance value in the current path after the time at which the detection was performed, based on the detected voltage value and the detected current value; calculating a resistance value by dividing a voltage value associated with the detected voltage value by a current value associated with the detected current value; and determining whether or not to switch off the switch based on the estimated resistance value and a resistance value calculated using a voltage value and a current value associated respectively with a detected voltage value and a detected current value detected again after said time.
