CONTROL SYSTEM FOR SWITCHING DC-TO-DC VOLTAGE CONVERTER FROM BOOST OPERATING MODE TO SAFE OPERATING MODE

摘要

A control system of a DC-to-DC voltage converter comprises a microcontroller having a first application and a second application. The first application instructs the microcontroller to generate a first control signal instructing each of a first plurality of FET switches within a high side integrated circuit and each of a second plurality of FET switches within a low side integrated circuit to switch to an open operating state. The second application instructs the microcontroller to generate a second control signal instructing each of the first plurality of FET switches within the high side integrated circuit and each of the second plurality of FET switches within the low side integrated circuit to switch to the open operating state.
