Patent number: 8310194Abstract: A load drive device for driving an inductive load by PWM controlling a switching element includes synchronization control unit, a synchronization signal input terminal, and a synchronization signal output terminal. The synchronization control unit outputs the PWM signal to the switching element. The synchronization control unit receives a synchronization signal through the input terminal from an exterior. The synchronization control unit outputs the synchronization signal through the output terminal to an exterior. When the synchronization control unit does not receive the synchronization signal, the synchronization control unit outputs the synchronization signal such that a first switching period of the PWM signal is prevented from overlapping with a second switching period of a PWM signal of an external device. When the synchronization control unit receives the synchronization signal, the synchronization control unit generates the PWM signal based on the synchronization signal.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2009Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Masatoshi Yokai, Satoshi Yoshimura, Kouji Nakamura, Masao Yamada
