    Abstract: An in-vehicle power supply system includes a DC power source, a steering power converter, a steering drive control unit, a plurality of voltage-reducing devices, and a voltage-reducing control unit. The steering power converter converts electric power supplied from the DC power source, and provides the electric power converted to a steering assist motor. The steering drive control unit is supplied with electric power from the DC power source, and controls the steering power converter. The voltage-reducing devices are coupled in parallel to each other between the DC power source and the steering power converter. Each of the voltage-reducing devices reduces a power source voltage of the DC power source and generates a reduced voltage when being operated. The voltage-reducing control unit determines operation state or non-operation state of each of the voltage-reducing devices such that at least one of the voltage-reducing devices is in operation at a time.

    Abstract: An inverter circuit converts electric power supplied to a motor by on/off operations of FETs. A microcomputer controls driving of the motor by controlling the on/off operations of the FETs. The microcomputer operates as a current direction determination part. The microcomputer detects a first potential difference, which is a potential difference between both ends of each diode, and a second potential difference, which is a potential difference between both ends of each diode, when both FETs of each phase are in an off-state. The microcomputer can further determine a direction of current flowing in the motor based on the detected first potential difference and the detected second potential difference.

    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.

    Abstract: Comparators of a rotary electric machine control apparatus acquire terminal voltages of each phase, which are developed at junction points between high-potential side FETs and low-potential side FETs, respectively. In switching over ON and OFF of the high-potential side FETs and the low-potential side FETs, a control unit determines a flow direction of a phase current supplied to each phase coil based on a terminal voltage developed in a dead time period, in which a the high-potential side FET and the low-potential side FET forming a pair are both turned off. Thus, the flow direction of each phase current is determined in a simple configuration.

    Abstract: A first drive circuit of a motor drive apparatus drives a motor by converting electric power of a battery. A relay is connected in high potential line between the battery and an inverter. A diode is connected in parallel to the relay. The diode conducts a current in a regeneration direction, which is from a high potential side of the inverter to a high potential electrode of the battery, under a state that the relay is in the off-state. Thus, an inductive voltage, which is generated by the motor when a reverse input torque is applied from a load side, is led to the battery through the diode, and switching elements forming the inverter are protected from the inductive voltage.
