Abstract
A control device and method for power supply to an EPS system in a vehicle, including a reverse voltage protection circuit and a battery disconnect circuit. A DC-end capacitor is charged with a voltage by turning on switches of a reverse voltage protection circuit and a battery disconnect circuit, a change in the voltage of the DC-end capacitor is detected by turning off the switches of the reverse voltage protection circuit and the battery disconnect circuit, and then a failure in the switches of the reverse voltage protection circuit and the battery disconnect circuit is determined on the basis of information regarding changes in the voltage of the DC-end capacitor. The failure in the reverse voltage protection circuit and the battery disconnect circuit is diagnosed without a charge/discharge circuit.
