The invention provides a detection circuit, a
chip and a detection method, and is suitable for the technical field of integrated circuits. The detection circuit comprises a
relay outlet loop which comprises a
relay and is used for driving the
relay to execute a closing action or an
opening action under the control of a
tripping power supply and a first driving
signal; the
recovery circuit is electrically connected with an outlet loop of the relay and is used for recovering the coil
voltage of the relay to obtain a first
recovery signal; and the main control loop is used for controlling the
tripping power supply to power on the relay outlet loop, outputting a first driving
signal to the relay outlet loop, and detecting the action of the relay based on the first
recovery signal. According to the embodiment of the application, the action of the relay can be detected, that is, the action of the CPU trip outlet can be monitored, and by controlling and
stoping the outlet, the occurrence of action refusal and maloperation of the outlet can be effectively avoided, and the stability of the action of the outlet is improved.
