Patent number: 10197037Abstract: The invention, while reducing noise, suppresses a load increase in a processor and a delay in drive control. An engine control unit includes a processor, a driving circuit including a switching element to drive a load such as a fuel injector and an ignition device, and a communication circuit that transmits control signals from the processor to the driving circuit via serial communication. The control signals each include a command frame for controlling the driving circuit and a data frame for driving the load. If a predetermined bits in each of the data frames received from the processor at predetermined time intervals are determined to be the same twice in succession, the engine control unit changes a state of a driving signal ‘Drive’ for driving the load and thereby changes an operating state of the switching element.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2017Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: HITACHI AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS, LTD.Inventors: Katsuya Oyama, Chihiro Sato, Mitsuhiko Watanabe

Patent number: 9783138Abstract: In a vehicle control device in which a driver circuit which does not have a computing function and a computing device communicate with each other, there is provided a technology which can efficiently diagnose that both the driver circuit and the computing device normally communicate with each other by a simple technique. The vehicle control device according to the present invention transmits diagnosis data as a control command from a computing portion to the driver circuit, and the driver circuit sends inverted diagnosis data in which the diagnosis data is bit-inverted back to the computing portion. The computing portion diagnoses whether or not the communication between the computing portion and the driver circuit is normally performed, by using the diagnosis data and the inverted diagnosis data.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2014Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: Hitachi Automotive Systems, Ltd.Inventors: Shinichiro Yoneoka, Yasuhiko Okada, Chihiro Sato, Koji Yuasa, Masahiro Toyohara, Yasushi Sugiyama
