Abstract
Fail safe circuitry of an anti-skid control apparatus for a brake system of a motor vehicle. The fail safe circuitry is rendered in a monolithic integrated circuit chip and includes apparatus for sensing the power consumed by said chip and apparatus for decoupling said chip from the power source for preventing its thermal destruction when the power consumed reaches a predetermined level. The chip also includes apparatus for precisely timing the time duration of a brake release provided by the anti-skid control apparatus and generating a latch signal to disable said anti-skid control apparatus to limit the brake release duration within a predetermined time duration.
