<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To protect a voltage monitoring device by preventing a negative power supply voltage to be applied from being out of a rated voltage range of the voltage monitoring device. <P>SOLUTION: The voltage monitoring device includes: a voltage transmission circuit having a differential amplifier which is installed on each of a plurality of fuel cells; a minimum value detection circuit which obtains a minimum voltage Vmin based on each voltage of the plurality of fuel cells transmitted by each differential amplifier; a power supply part; and a control part. When the control part determines that the minimum voltage Vmin is below a prescribed voltage V0 (S120), both of a positive and a negative power supply voltages Vcc, Vss supplied from the power supply part are shifted to the negative direction while maintaining the differential (S130). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
