| 20090289822 | AD CONVERTER AND DATA PROCESSING UNIT - An AD converter includes an input circuit, an operation circuit and a bus interface. The input circuit is provided with a pull-down circuit, which is capable of pulling down an analog signal input side of a sample-hold circuit whether an analog signal is inputted or not. The operation circuit is provided with a reference voltage conversion result storing register, which is capable of storing a conversion result of an analog reference voltage inputted periodically separately from a conversion result of the analog signal inputted through the sample-hold circuit. The operation circuit is further provided with a check register, which is capable of writing in and reading out data for checking operation of a signal transfer system including a bus interface through the bus interface. Thus, it is made possible to confirm normality of an external part and an internal part of the AD converter. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20100327677 | DRIVE APPARATUS AND SEMICONDUCTOR MODULE - A special terminal may project from an encapsulation body of a semiconductor module and may be engaged with an engaging portion of a motor case to limit a positional deviation of the semiconductor module relative to the motor case. Additionally or alternatively, a module side engaging portion may be formed in the encapsulation body and may be engaged with a case side engaging portion to position the semiconductor module relative to the motor case. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20100327678 | DRIVE APPARATUS - A drive apparatus has a motor device having a tubular motor case. A stator is arranged radially inside the motor case. A rotor is arranged radially inside the stator. A shaft is rotatable with the rotor. An electronic circuit is arranged in the central axis direction of the shaft relative to the motor case. A choke coil has a hole in a central part thereof, in which the shaft is inserted. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20100327679 | ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT-INTEGRATED MOTOR DRIVE AND SEMICONDUCTOR MODULE - A motor case is formed in a tubular shape. A semiconductor module includes a semiconductor chip of switching elements, a resin part and a coil terminal. The resin part embeds the semiconductor chip therein. The coil terminal is protruded from the resin part and directly connected to a coil. A connection part between the coil terminal and the coil is arranged at a position, which is between a top wall surface and a bottom wall surface of the resin part facing each other in the axial direction of a motor. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20100327680 | MOTOR - In a motor, a stator with a three-phase winding set and a rotor are located in an operation region of a motor casing having a side wall. An inverter circuit constructed with power modules is located in a control region that is located on the opposite side of the operation region across the side wall in an axial direction of the motor. Each power module has a pair of transistors and a common terminal connected to the pair of transistors. A lead of a winding corresponding to one phase and a lead of a winding corresponding to another phase extend in the axial direction to cross over from the operation region to the control region and are connected together to the common terminal of a corresponding power module. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20100327709 | SEMICONDUCTOR MODULE AND ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT-INTEGRATED MOTOR DEVICE USING SAME - A V1 semiconductor module has a coil terminal, which is directly connectable to a lead wire of a coil. As a result, the number of parts required to connect electronic parts is reduced. Further, since no printed circuit board is required, the coil terminal can be shaped in any size without being limited in correspondence to the thickness of a copper film of the substrate. The coil terminal and control terminals, which are connected to the printed circuit board having a control circuit for controlling current supply to the coil, are provided on different wall surfaces of a resin part. Thus, the coil and the printed circuit board can be readily connected to the coil terminal and the control terminals, respectively, resulting in simplification of the device. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20100328901 | LINKED SEMICONDUCTOR MODULE UNIT AND ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT-INTEGRATED MOTOR VEHICLE DEVICE USING SAME - A linked semiconductor module unit links a plurality of semiconductor modules by a first bus bar and a second bus bar, which are embedded in resin parts. The linked semiconductor module unit is disposed in a place other than on a printed circuit board. The semiconductor module linking structure is implemented readily by molding the bus bars together with semiconductor chips and lands to form the resin parts. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110018374 | ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT-INTEGRATED MOTOR APPARATUS - An electronic circuit including semiconductor modules and capacitors is positioned in the axial direction of a motor. Each semiconductor module is longitudinally positioned in contact with a heat sink. More specifically, a line perpendicular to the surface of a semiconductor chip included in the semiconductor module is perpendicular to the axis line of the motor. Consequently, each capacitor is positioned so that at least a part of the positional range of the capacitor in the axial direction of the motor coincides with the positional ranges of the semiconductor module and the heat sink in the axial direction. | 01-27-2011 |
| 20110043152 | DRIVE CONTROL DEVICE - A device for driving a motor includes inverters, an interrupter, and a controller. Each inverter includes supply systems. Each supply system includes a power source-side path branching from a power source, a power source-side semiconductor switch located in the power source-side path, a ground-side path branching from a ground, a ground-side semiconductor switch located in the ground-side path, and a motor-side path branching at a connection point between the power source-side path and the ground-side path to supply electric current to a corresponding phase of the motor. The controller controls the motor by controlling the inverters and determines whether the semiconductor switches in each inverter are short-circuited. The controller causes the interrupter to disconnect the supply systems in the inverter having the semiconductor switch that is determined to be short-circuited. The controller continues to control the motor by controlling the other inverter. | 02-24-2011 |
