Abstract
Provided is a power supply control apparatus, a power supply control method, and a computer program that can prevent an extremely large current from flowing via a switch. A power supply control apparatus is configured to control power supply via a switch. A control unit is configured to determine whether to switch ON a semiconductor switch. If the control unit determines to switch ON the switch, when a voltage value at a current input terminal of the switch, to which a current is input, is lower than a predetermined voltage value, a driving circuit is configured to switch ON the switch.
Claims6
A power supply control apparatus for controlling power supply via a switch, the apparatus comprising:
- a determination unit configured to determine whether to switch ON the switch;
- and
- a switching unit configured to switch ON the switch, if the determination unit determines to switch ON the switch, and a voltage value at a current input terminal of the switch, to which a current is input, is lower than a predetermined voltage value.
A power supply control method for controlling power supply via a switch, the method comprising:
- a step of determining whether to switch ON the switch;
- and
- a step of switching ON the switch, if it is determined to switch ON the switch, and a voltage value at a current input terminal of the switch, to which a current is input, is lower than a predetermined voltage value.
A computer program for causing a computer to execute:
- a step of determining whether to switch ON a switch;
- a step of determining whether a voltage value at a current input terminal of the switch, to which a current is input, is lower than a predetermined voltage value, if it is determined to switch ON the switch;
- and
- a step of instructing to switch ON the switch, if it is determined that the voltage value at the current input terminal is lower than the predetermined voltage value.
