Abstract:
An electronic control unit where an external watch dog timer (WDT) can always normally detect an abnormality (a failure) to a micro controller unit (MCU) related to a built-in self-test (BIST) function and which can maintain safety of a system. The control unit includes an external WDT to detect an abnormality of the MCU, a reset circuit to reset the MCU when the external WDT detects the abnormality of the MCU, and an ON/OFF control section to turn a gate of the semiconductor switching device on or off in accordance with the external WDT. The inverter is stopped by turning the gate off via the ON/OFF control section when the external WDT is a disable state. When the abnormality of the MCU is not detected in an enable state, the inverter is driven by turning the gate on via the ON/OFF control section. When the abnormality of the MCU is detected, the inverter is stopped by turning the gate off via the ON/OFF control section and the MCU is reset by the reset circuit.

Claim (Index 9):
The electronic control unit according to  claim 8 , wherein said semiconductor switching device is a field effect transistor (an FET).
