[0002] Smart high-side switches, also known as high-side load switches, are currently widely used to drive loads in vehicles. For smart high-side switches, it is particularly important to have a complete diagnostic mechanism (short circuit to ground SCG, overload Over Load, short circuit to power supply SCB, open load Open Load). This is because there are many electronic modules and potential faults involved in automotive application scenarios. For example, when an open circuit fault occurs in the in-vehicle load-the car turn signal, a double flashing frequency is required to indicate the fault. However, the prerequisite for realizing this closed-loop fault prompt is that the main control unit MCU must first obtain the fault information reported by the high-side driver.

[0024] In an embodiment of the present invention, the intelligent high-side driver chip includes input and output pins for controlling its working mode; a current monitoring circuit, the current monitoring circuit is connected to the current monitoring pin of the intelligent high-side driver chip, and is used to monitor the current change of the current monitoring pin when the intelligent high-side driver chip is in the working mode, and when the current reaches or exceeds the current limiting threshold, diagnose the intelligent high-side driver chip as a source current grounded load fault; a voltage detection circuit, when the intelligent high-side driver chip is in the non-working mode, the voltage detection circuit controls the voltage value output by the intelligent high-side driver chip to be less than the open circuit detection threshold through a pull-down resistor connected to the output pin of the peripheral circuit of the intelligent high-side driver chip, and distinguishes the voltage state of the peripheral circuit output pin through the internal comparator of the intelligent high-side driver chip to determine the output level of the current monitoring pin, when the output level of the current monitoring pin is low, it is judged as a load open circuit fault, and when the output level of the current monitoring pin is high, it is judged as a short circuit to power supply fault.

[0033] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a smart high-side chip diagnostic method according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0034] Step S101, in response to a first control signal, controlling the intelligent high-side chip to enter a working mode, monitoring the current change of the current monitoring pin through a current monitoring circuit, and diagnosing a source current grounding load fault when the current reaches or exceeds a current limiting threshold.

[0035] Step S102, in response to the second control signal, the control chip enters a non-working mode, and detects the voltage state of the output pin of the peripheral circuit through the voltage detection circuit. When the current monitoring pin outputs a low level, it is judged as a load open circuit fault. When the current monitoring pin outputs a high level, it is judged as a short circuit to power supply fault.

[0036] Optionally, the control chip enters the working mode and the non-working mode by receiving the first control signal or the second control signal through the input / output pin.

[0037] Optionally, the current monitoring circuit converts the current change of the current monitoring pin into a voltage signal using a current sensing resistor, and then compares it with the current limiting threshold through a comparator to determine whether there is a source current grounding load fault.

[0038] Optionally, in a non-operating mode, the voltage detection circuit pulls down the voltage of the peripheral circuit output pin through a pull-down resistor, and uses an internal comparator to detect the level change of the current monitoring pin to distinguish between the fault types of open load and short circuit to the power supply.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 , the specific implementation of the above embodiment is as follows:

[0040] First, by setting the two input pins IN1 and IN2 controlled by the controller high, the high-side driver chip ONSTATE (working mode) mode is switched. In the ON STATE mode, when the SCG load (Source Current Grounding Load) is short-circuited to the ground, the CS (current monitoring pin) responsible for current monitoring in the chip will output a large current, reaching the chip current limiting threshold of 14.5A. When the load is open Open Load and the load is short-circuited to the power supply SCB, the CS pin responsible for current monitoring in the chip outputs a current of 0. In summary, in order to achieve the purpose of detecting the SCG load short-circuit to ground fault, it can be achieved by switching the high-side driver chip working mode to ON STATE.

[0041] On the contrary, in order to diagnose and distinguish the other two faults (Open Load or short circuit to power supply SCB), the high-side driver chip working mode needs to be switched to OFF STATE (non-working mode) to achieve this. By placing 10K pull-down resistors (R1, R2) in the peripheral circuit output pins OUT1 and OUT2, the actual output voltage values ​​Vout1 and Vout2 can be made less than the minimum open circuit detection threshold value (2V) of the chip. The internal comparator rule of the chip is that when the actual output voltage value is less than the minimum open circuit detection threshold value, it is regarded as a low level. Therefore, when the high-side driver chip working mode is OFF STATE, when the load is open, the CS pin output level is low, and when the load is shorted to the power supply SCB fault occurs, the CS pin output level is high. In summary, in order to achieve the purpose of distinguishing the two fault states of open load or short circuit to power supply SCB, it can be achieved by switching the high-side driver chip working mode to OFFSTATE.

[0042] Through the description of the above implementation methods, those skilled in the art can clearly understand that the method according to the above embodiment can be implemented by means of software plus a necessary general hardware platform, and of course can also be implemented by hardware, but in many cases the former is a better implementation method. Based on such an understanding, the technical solution of the present invention is essentially or the part that contributes to the prior art can be embodied in the form of a software product, which is stored in a storage medium (such as ROM / RAM, magnetic disk, optical disk), and includes a number of instructions for a terminal device (which can be a mobile phone, computer, server, or network device, etc.) to execute the methods described in each embodiment of the present invention.

As used below, the term "module" is a combination of software and / or hardware that can implement a predetermined function.
