    摘要: A motor controller 100-1 includes an inverter 23, a current detection unit 24, and a current detector 27. The motor controller includes a duty-cycle setting unit 31 that sets a duty cycle of each of a first PWM signal, a second PWM signal, and a third PWM signal, based on a corresponding detected value for a given phase. The motor controller includes a PWM signal generator 32. The PWM signal generator 32 adjusts, upon occurrence of a condition in which a given setting value changes, a time sequence order of timings at which the first PWM signal, the second PWM signal, and the third PWM signal respectively change after a change in the given setting value, to be the same as a time sequence order of timings at which the first PWM signal, the second PWM signal, and the third PWM signal respectively change prior to the change in the given setting value, so that a first energization time period and a second energization time period are ensured within half of one period of the carrier. The first energization time period has an energization width in which the current detector enables detecting of a given phase current for any one of phases. The second energization time period has an energization width in which the current detector enables detecting of a given phase current for any one of the phases.

    摘要: A motor driving control device drives each of a first motor and a second motor based on a predetermined condition designation signal, and includes a control unit, a first motor driving unit and a second motor driving unit. The control unit outputs first and second PWM signals to control driving of the first and second motors, respectively. Each of the first and second motor driving units flow a current through the first and second motors based on the first and second PWM signals, respectively. The control unit includes a determination means configured to determine whether the condition designation signal meets a predetermined mode switching condition, and an adjustment means configured to perform overlapping-related adjustment of an on period of the first PWM signal and an on period of the second PWM signal, based on a determination result of the determination means.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a control apparatus for sensing overcurrent of a DC motor of a vehicle. The control apparatus may include: a microcomputer configured to convert a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal into a digital signal for controlling the DC motor; a half-bridge driver configured to control switching of the DC motor; a regulator configured to supply power; and a noise removal filter. The microcomputer is configured to measure a voltage at an input of the half-bridge driver, compare a difference between on-voltage and off-voltage during each of PWM period with a predetermined threshold, and stop the DC motor when the difference exceeds the predetermined threshold a predetermined number of times.
