Abstract

PURPOSE:To take a countermeasure so that a load resistance does not exceeds a permissible value before main operation is started by providing a circuit which finds the output terminal voltage across the controller by an operational amplifier and comparing it with the input voltage of the output circuit. CONSTITUTION:An output current Io flows with the input voltage Vi of the output circuit 8 and the operational amplifier circuit consisting of the operational amplifier 18 and resistances R5 and R6 finds the voltage developed between the plus output terminal 12 and minus output terminal 13 through the load resistance R7 with the output current Io. When the resistance R5 is equal to KR6, the output voltage Vc of the operational amplifier 18 is expressed by an equation I. Then a comparator 19 compares the output voltage Vc and input voltage Vi. The output of the comparator 19 is OFF when Vc<=Vi and ON when Vc> Vi. Therefore, whether the load resistance connected to the output of the controller 14 exceeds the permissible value or not can be detected. Consequently, the countermeasure can be taken so that the load resistance does not exceeds the permissible value before the main operation is started.
