Power supply control apparatus including highly-reliable overcurrent detecting circuit

摘要

In a power supply control apparatus for controlling supplying of power from a battery to a load including a battery terminal connectable to the battery, an output terminal connectable to the load, and a ground terminal, a transistor is connected between the battery terminal and the output terminal to turn ON and OFF a connection between the battery and the load. An overcurrent detecting circuit is connected between the battery terminal and the output terminal to detect whether or not an overcurrent has flown through the transistor. A control circuit is connected between the battery terminal and the ground terminal to activate the transistor and the overcurrent detecting circuit.
