Abstract
A controllerturns on a semiconductor switchin a normal mode, and turns off the semiconductor switchin a sleep mode. A bypass resistoris connected in parallel to the semiconductor switch. A resistance value of the bypass resisteris so large as that in the sleep mode, a dark current is supplied to an electronic devicevia the bypass resistor, and if an electric wire downstream of the bypass resistor is short-circuited, an electric current more than a permissive current is prevented from flowing to the electric wire.
