摘要: Techniques for learning endstop position(s) of an actuator for a wastegate valve include detecting a learn condition and, in response to detecting the learn condition, performing a learn procedure for the actuator endstop position(s). The learn procedure includes commanding the actuator to a desired position past the endstop position corresponding to a fully-closed wastegate valve while rate-limiting a velocity of the actuator. When the difference reaches its maximum allowed value and the velocity falls below a fraction of its rate limit, the endstop position is learned. When the wastegate valve is requested open, the actuator is then controlled using the learned endstop position. Reference stiffness for a fully-closed wastegate valve could be obtained, and subsequent stiffness checks could then be periodically performed and, if less than the reference stiffness, a duty cycle of the actuator could be increased during open-loop control.

摘要: An engine bank-to-bank airflow balancing technique includes calculating current and offset volumetric efficiencies of the engine and calculating a slope representing (i) a difference between the offset and current volumetric efficiencies and (ii) a difference between offset and current intake camshaft positions. Based on the respective exhaust gas oxygen concentrations, the technique involves calculating a volumetric efficiency correction corresponding to each cylinder bank and based on the slope and the volumetric efficiency corrections, calculating target intake camshaft position shifts. The technique further involves controlling offsets of the intake camshafts based on the target intake camshaft position shifts. After a predetermined number of target intake camshaft position shifts are determined and stored with respect to various combinations of engine speed and a ratio of intake manifold pressure to barometric pressure, final intake camshaft position shifts may be determined and utilized when determining the intake camshaft positions.

摘要: In a high-performance interface circuit for micro-electromechanical (MEMS) inertial sensors, an excitation signal (used to detect capacitance variation) is used to control the value of an actuation signal bit stream to allow the dynamic range of both actuation and detection paths to be maximized and to prevent folding of high frequency components of the actuation bit stream due to mixing with the excitation signal. In another aspect, the effects of coupling between actuation signals and detection signals may be overcome by performing a disable/reset of at least one of and preferably both of the detection circuitry and the MEMS detection electrodes during actuation signal transitions. In a still further aspect, to get a demodulated signal to have a low DC component, fine phase adjustment may be achieved by configuring filters within the sense and drive paths to have slightly different center frequencies and hence slightly different delays.
