Abstract
A drive device includes a driver, a determination storage, a comparator, and at least one of a control storage and a monitor storage. The control storage stores a control pattern that includes a signal instructing a conduction state of each of loads. The driver control semiconductor switches respectively corresponding to the loads according to the control pattern. The determination storage stores a determination pattern. The monitor storage stores a monitor pattern that is a result of monitoring the conduction state of each of the loads. The comparator compares the determination pattern with a comparison pattern that is at least one of the control pattern and the monitor pattern, and determine that an abnormality of the comparison pattern has occurred in response to that the determination pattern and the comparison pattern satisfy a predetermined correspondence relationship.
