    Abstract: A motor driver includes an inverter, a multiphase pre-driver circuit, a controller and motor relays. The inverter includes pairs of an upper-arm switching element and a lower-arm switching element being connected in series between a ground line and a power supply line, and supplies power to a multiphase motor by converting direct current power of a battery. The multiphase pre-driver circuit drives the upper-arm and lower-arm switching elements. The controller commands the multiphase pre-driver circuit to drive the switching elements, and controls electrical conduction from the inverter to the multiphase motor. The motor relays interrupt a current flowing from the multiphase motor to the inverter during an off state. The multiphase pre-driver circuit includes a charge pump. The motor relays are turned on by an output voltage of the charge pump during an operation of the charge pump in a situation apart from that the controller provides an instruction.

    Abstract: A power converter is connected between a power supply line and a ground line, and the power supply line is connected to a battery. The power converter supplies converted power to a load by converting direct current power of the battery. A control circuit controls the power converter by a voltage applied from the battery. A reverse-connection protective relay is connected to the ground line, and interrupts a current flowing from the ground line to the power supply line via the power converter in a case where the battery is connected in a reverse direction. A voltage required for turning on the reverse-connection protective relay is applied to a gate of the reverse-connection protective relay in a case where the battery is connected in a forward direction, and is not applied to the gate of the reverse-connection protective relay in a case where the battery is connected in the reverse direction.

    Abstract: A power converter of a load drive device is provided between a power supply line and a ground line connected to the battery, and converts a direct-current power of the battery and supplies it to a load. A booster circuit boosts a voltage of the battery supplied via the power supply line. A post-boost capacitor is charged with a boosted voltage by the booster circuit. A specific regulator operates a target circuit when a voltage equal to or higher than a lower limit value is applied via a power supply path. At least the voltage charged in the post-boost capacitor is applied to the specific regulator.
