Abstract:
According to one embodiment, there is provided a temperature abnormality detection circuit provided in a temperature control device includes a target temperature determination circuit, a difference arithmetic circuit, a temperature abnormality determination circuit, and a storage circuit. The temperature abnormality detection circuit is configured to determine the presence or absence of temperature abnormality by a response situation of a detected temperature by a temperature sensor, calculate a current temperature difference from the detected temperature acquired by the temperature sensor if it is determined that there is a temperature abnormality and an estimated WAE temperature value, and determine whether the temperature sensor is abnormal or the control circuit side is abnormal based on the result of comparison between the temperature difference and a preset threshold value.
