Abstract:
A semiconductor package has first and second semiconductor die mounted to a substrate. The first semiconductor die includes a first inductor coil electrically coupled to the substrate. The second semiconductor die is mounted over the first semiconductor die. The second semiconductor die includes a second inductor coil electrically coupled to the substrate. A center of the second inductor coil has a vertical and lateral separation with respect to a center of the first inductor coil which are each selectable to minimize mutual inductive coupling between the first and second inductor coils. A spacer is disposed between the first and second semiconductor die to adjust the vertical separation. The center of the second inductor is positioned laterally within the second semiconductor die with respect to the center of the first inductor to adjust the lateral separation. The mutual inductive coupling decreases with increasing vertical and lateral separation.

Abstract:
The present invention provides a clutch engaging control method in a hybrid power output device, wherein the device comprises an engine, a first motor, a clutch and a second motor that are connected in sequence, a battery, and a speed reducing mechanism and a drive shaft that are connected to the output end of the second motor; the method comprises: (a) detecting the rotation speed ω2 of the second motor and setting the rotation speed ω2 as the target rotation speed ω0 of the first motor, when the vehicle is driven by the second motor and the engine is required to be started to provide assistance to the second motor; (b) starting the first motor to drive the engine, and controlling the actual rotation speed ω1 of the first motor to be close to the target rotation speed ω0; (c) switching the state of the first motor from a driving motor to a power generator when the actual rotation speed ω1 of the first motor is approximately equal to the target rotation speed ω0; and (d) engaging the clutch. The method can improve the dynamic response time of the engine and suppress impact in the clutch engaging process. The present invention further provides a clutch engaging control system in a hybrid power output device.

Abstract:
This invention provides methods for electric vehicle motor control and rotor position detection and fault-tolerant processing. The rotor position signal sampled by the system is compared with the previous rotor position θ0. When there is a sudden change, the current position signal acquired is discarded. Instead, a fault-tolerant processing strategy for use during an error condition is employed where the previous sampled rotor position θ0 is used as a base to determine the corrected current rotor position angle Θ1′. Then the correcting value is used to control the electric motor. Thus, during the motor operation, when the detection of the motor rotor position is erroneous because of a sensor such as a revolver that may be interfered by external conditions such as electromagnetic fields or vibrations or when there is a breakdown in other related hardware components or transmitting circuits, the fault-tolerant processing methods of this invention can effectively prevent the motor from losing control and allow it to maintain its continuity and stability.
