Semiconductor switch
First Claim
1. A semiconductor switch, connected to a control device, wherein the semiconductor switch is turned on or off based upon a control signal from the control device, wherein the semiconductor switch includes feed voltage-monitoring means for monitoring whether the voltage fed to the control device is within a predetermined range, wherein the semiconductor switch is turned off when it is judged that the voltage is not within the predetermined range.

Abstract
A semiconductor switch interrupts output when a microcomputer or an external IC operates abnormally is connected to a control device such, and is turned on or off depending upon a control signal from the control device. The semiconductor switch has feed voltage-monitoring means for monitoring whether the voltage fed to the control device lies within a predetermined range, and is turned off when it is so judged that the voltage is not within the predetermined range.
