Abstract:
When supplying electric power to a load from a power supply via a parallel circuit of two electrical wires having the same wiring resistance, a vehicular power supply control device uses a current measurement unit in intelligent power devices (IPDs) to measure a passing current flowing in a semiconductor switching device in each of the electrical wires. Then, in order to match the temperatures of the electrical wires as estimated by a present temperature estimation unit base on the measured current, a target duty ratio in a PWM control for reducing the passing current in the semiconductor switching device of the IPD on one electrical wire is calculated in a target duty ratio calculation unit, and the semiconductor switching device of the one IPD is turned on and off by a PWM/DC control and shutoff determination unit with the calculated target duty ratio.
