Abstract
A apparatus for preventing a malfunction prevents a malfunction during recovery from critical suspend. The apparatus includes: a voltage detection unit 2 detecting a voltage value from a secondary battery 1; a charging time monitor unit 4 outputting a system activation enable signal when a charging time of the secondary battery 1 by a AC adapter 3 is monitored and a predetermined time passes; and a power supply control unit 5 controlling a system power supply according to a voltage value detected by the voltage detection unit 2 and a system activation enable signal generated by the charging time monitor unit 4.

10. A apparatus for preventing a malfunction, comprising:
-
a stable voltage detection unit receiving a voltage of the battery and a predetermined reference voltage, and generating a voltage stable signal in the case where the voltage of the battery is equal to or higher than the predetermined reference voltage;
a detection unit outputting a detection signal in the case of a operation stop status of electronic equipment due to low voltage detection of a battery from a voltage value of the battery;
a charge detection unit outputting a charge detection signal in the case where charge of a battery by an AC adapter is detected;
an AC adapter charging time monitor unit counting up to a predetermined time while the charge detection signal is input, and outputting a system activation enable signal in the case where the detection signal is detected;
a notification unit notifying that a system can be activated in the case of simultaneously detecting a voltage stable signal generated by the stable voltage detection unit and a system activation enable signal generated by the AC adapter charging time monitor unit, and notifying that the system cannot be activated in the case where at least one of the signals is not detected. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
