Car electronic control system & method for controlling the same

摘要

A car electronic control system comprises a microcomputer (11) switching between a sleep mode and an operational mode by at least one external input signal; a first power supply circuit (31) for supplying power continuously; and a second power supply circuit (32, 33) for enabling to stop power supply on the basis of a signal received from the microcomputer, wherein said second power supply circuit (32, 33) is stopped when the microcomputer shifts to the sleep mode, the microcomputer (11) is shifted to the operational mode when the input signal varies in the sleep mode and starts the power supply of said second power supply circuit to start the usual operation when judging that the input signal is normal while the microcomputer (11) stops the power supply of the second power supply circuit and shifts to the sleep mode when judging that the input signal is abnormal. <IMAGE>
