- H02H 3/066: {Reconnection being a consequence of eliminating the fault which caused disconnection}
- H02H: EMERGENCY PROTECTIVE CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENTS (indicating or signalling undesired working conditions G01R, e.g. G01R31/00, G08B; locating faults along lines G01R31/08; emergency protective devices H01H)

## Abstract

The invention discloses a controlling apparatus for a signal outputting circuit in an electronic system. The controlling apparatus includes a detecting circuit, a switch, and a controlling circuit. The detecting circuit is used for detecting whether the electronic system has an abnormal condition. The switch is electrically connected between a signal receiving terminal and the signal outputting circuit. The controlling circuit is electrically connected between the detecting circuit and the switch. Once the detecting circuit detects that the electronic system has the abnormal condition, the controlling circuit sets the switch into a high-impedance state.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A video system comprising:
an image outputting circuit;
a detecting circuit for detecting whether the video system has an abnormal condition;
a switch, electrically connected between a signal receiving terminal and the image outputting circuit; and
a controlling circuit, electrically connected between the detecting circuit and the switch, once the detecting circuit detects that the video system has the abnormal condition, the controlling circuit generating a high-potential controlling signal and a low-potential controlling signal to two ends of the switch respectively for setting the switch into a high-impedance state.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The video system of claim 1, wherein the detecting circuit is used for detecting whether the video system has an electro-static discharge condition.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The video system of claim 1, wherein if the detecting circuit does not judge that the video system has the abnormal condition, the controlling circuit sets the switch into a short-circuited state.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The video system of claim 1, wherein the switch is a transmission gate.
