Abstract:
An electronic apparatus includes a wiring board. The wiring board includes a wiring and a through-hole and is provided by dividing a multi-board providing board into the wiring board. The electronic apparatus further includes a circuit component having a surface mounting structure, mounted to the wiring board, and electrically connected to the wiring. A side wall of the wiring board has a cut portion that is provided when cutting and dividing the multi-board providing board. In the wiring board, the through-hole is formed adjacent to the cut portion without arranging the circuit component between the cut portion and the through-hole.
Abstract:
In a vehicular power supply system, a main battery supplies electric power to both main machine drive circuit, which drives a main motor for driving a vehicle, and a steering assist drive circuit, which drives a steering assist motor of a power steering apparatus. A main machine switching circuit, which is capable of shutting off power supply to the main machine drive circuit, and an auxiliary machine switching circuit, which is capable of shutting off power supply to the steering assist drive circuit are provided in parallel. As long as the auxiliary machine switching circuit is turned on, power supply to the steering assist drive circuit is continued even when the main machine switching circuit is turned off.
Abstract:
An electric driver device provides a partial redundancy system that is at least partially redundant, or a full redundancy system. The electric driver device has a plurality of circuit systems. The electric driver device includes, in at least a part of the electric circuit, a common circuit extending over at least two of a plurality of circuit systems. The common circuit includes a power supply and/or a connection line that complements signals. At least one of the power supply circuit, an interface circuit, a power supply cutoff circuit, and a connector is not separated and independent from each other for each redundant circuit system.
Abstract:
An electronic unit includes a heat sink, a substrate, a heating component, a temperature sensor, a first interconnection, and a second interconnection. The heat sink includes a strut. The substrate is fixed to the strut of the heat sink. The heating component is mounted on the substrate to generate heat upon energization of the heating component. The temperature sensor is mounted on the substrate to detect temperature. The first interconnection is provided in a high-temperature region in which the heating component is mounted on the substrate, and is connected to the strut of the heat sink. The second interconnection is provided in a detection region in which the temperature sensor is mounted on the substrate, and is provided separately from the first interconnection. The second interconnection is connected to the strut of the heat sink and the temperature sensor.
Abstract:
A motor controller includes, in a microcomputer, a voltage fall determiner determining whether a reference voltage falls from a normal value based on an Analog-to-Digital (A/D) conversion value of a second voltage from an A/D converter, and a corrector (i) calculating a correction coefficient based on the A/D conversion value of the second voltage from the A/D converter and (ii) correcting an A/D conversion value of an input voltage that is output from the A/D converter. A core of the microcomputer generates a control signal based on an input voltage A/D conversion value, when the voltage fall determiner determines that the reference voltage is equal to or higher than a normal reference value. The motor controller keeps its motor control accuracy in such manner, even when a fall of an A/D conversion reference voltage is observed.

Abstract:
A power source system provides: an electrical generator including a rectifying circuit configured by one or more rectifying diodes for allowing electric conduction from a ground side to a battery side; a fuse arranged between the electrical generator and a battery; and a driving apparatus including a circuit configured by one or more semiconductor elements having one or more parasitic diodes for allowing electrical conduction from the ground side to the battery side, and a load. The number of parasitic diodes to be connected in series between a ground and the fuse in the driving apparatus is larger than the number of rectifying diodes to be connected in series between the ground and the battery side in the electrical generator. In addition, the circuit switches electrical conduction in the load.

Abstract:
An electronic control unit is equipped with a semiconductor module having a semiconductor chip electrically connected to the first circuit pattern and the second circuit pattern. A resin body is wrapped around the semiconductor chip. A first metal plate has a side connected to the semiconductor chip and an other side connected to the first circuit pattern. A radiator projects toward and is connected to the first circuit pattern by a first heat conductor. As a result, heat generated by the semiconductor chip is transmitted to the radiator through the first metal plate, the first circuit pattern, and the first heat conductor during operation of the semiconductor module.
