A semiconductor device is capable of generating a correct over-temperature detection signal for an output transistor even if a reverse current from a load to the output transistor occurs. A temperature sensing diode is formed on the semiconductor substrate adjacent to the power transistor, and generates a forward voltage whose magnitude reflects the temperature of the output transistor. The over-temperature detection circuit detects an over-temperature state of the power transistor by comparing a magnitude of the forward voltage with a reference voltage, and asserts an over-temperature detection signal. The reverse current detection circuit detects the occurrence of a reverse current in the power transistor and asserts a reverse current detection signal during the occurrence. The semiconductor device performs processing such as masking an over-temperature detection signal using a reverse current detection signal.

While a vehicle is off, an automatic trigger strategy activates a heating device that melts snow and ice off exterior vehicle sensors as it is needed. The automatic trigger strategy determines when to turn on the heating device while the vehicle is in a limited power state by using data pulled from memory or data obtained from a current data check. Collected, analyzed, and stored during key-off, data pulled from memory allows the invention to accurately choose the correct time to start the heating device without consuming additional power. If current data checks are required because data saved at key-off is not enough information to execute a decision, the invention may determine the least power consuming data checks. A power manager extends a threshold that is dependent on the energy reserve. Once the energy reserve is below the threshold, the power manager inactivates the heating device and voids manual commands.
